Soft Computing in Healthcare System

Medical science and engineering have been using various medical systems such as medical imaging devices, medical testing devices, and medical information systems. With those systems, patients’ information has been collected every day and accumulated in various medical institutions. Also, the medical systems generate high-dimensional, multimodal, and huge data. In order to analyze such big data efficiently, image processing, signal processing and data mining play important roles for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) and monitoring. Soft computing approaches especially plays a fundamental role in the analysis of such medical data because of the ambiguity of human data. In this talk, some opportunities and challenges in soft computing approaches for healthcare analytics and delivery are highlighted. An example of how some of these methods that can contribute to clinical decision-making will be presented, such as its application to the development of a referral system.
