Big data analytics can be applied to this data to generate useful patterns and relation between different factors which affects diabetes. The results obtained from this analysis shows relation between different attributes which can be used to improve healthcare system. In this paper the analysis of the diabetes dataset is done using Hadoop framework, which is a distributive framework and can be used to analysis large amount of data.
