Cluster Analysis of Patients’ Clinical Information for Medical Practitioners and Insurance Companies

Abstract

<span>A number of approaches have been proposed in literature to collect and classify patient related information for purpose of better clinical diagnosis and thus safer treatment and administration of related activities. This type of data collection and classification benefits doctors and the corresponding hospitals. However, no effort is made, as to our knowledge, to classify accumulated data within insurance company databases to facilitate doctors as well as insurance companies for better analysis and cost-effective treatment of patients suffering from chronic (and expensive to treat) diseases such as related to oncology. In this study, a customized self-organized data classification model is applied to an insurance company database to build clusters based on age, patient condition, tests done, etc. These clusters provide integrated analysis to doctors in providing patient-specific, disease-specific, etc., and thus cost-effective treatment. On the other side, it saves on costs to be incurred on repeated tests to be done on the patient. An experimental setup is developed to train such a network, and testing results are presented. The practical constraints are also discussed.</span>

Clustering vehicle movement in restricted area for security: an experimental analysis

“…The clustering can also be used for other purposes 4 , where the author collects and organizes patient-related data to provide a better clinical diagnosis, provide a safer course of therapy, and administer related procedures. The research 5 presents a novel method to recover mobility representative features to identify vehicle activity contexts.…”

Machine Learning Based Improved Heart Disease Detection with Confidence

“…On the UCI dataset for predicting cardiac disease, the authors Elnawawy et al [10] investigated NB and support vector machines for classification and discovered that the support vector machine surpassed Naive Bayes in terms of classification accuracy. The employment of diverse machine learning algorithms has inspired many to investigate its potent advantages in numerous areas including healthcare [11][12].…”

“…where classifiers used in the equation are those which detected in the same direction. Thus, a computing system having a processor with two cores with each core capable of two threads, the system can test four classifiers in parallel and generate a result with a maximum confidence of four and accuracy as per equation (11).…”

Deep Learning in Retinal Image Segmentation and Feature Extraction: A Review

“…The DL models consist of deep architecture more generally DNN employing Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique. This can analyze the hierarchy of features where higher and lower level concepts can be defined from each level concepts and vice-versa [17]- [19]. Figure 1 demonstrates the fundamental working procedure of the traditional ML algorithm and the DL algorithm for retinal image processing.…”
