Data mining is gaining popularity in disparate research fields due to its boundless applications and approaches to mine the data in an appropriate manner. Owing to the changes, the current world acquiring, it is one of the optimal approach for approximating the nearby future consequences. Along with advanced researches in healthcare monstrous of data are available, but the main difficulty is how to cultivate the existing information into a useful practices. To unfold this hurdle the concept of data mining is the best suited. Data mining have a great potential to enable healthcare systems to use data more efficiently and effectively. Hence, it improves care and reduces costs. This paper reviews various Data Mining techniques such as classification, clustering, association, regression in health domain. It also highlights applications, challenges and future work of Data Mining in healthcare.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
