PATIENT DATA MINING FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PROJECTIONS OF PATIENTSTATES

摘要

A method and system for determining patient states is provided. The method includes the steps of data mining a patient record using a domain knowledge base relating to a disease of interest (502); inputting the mined data into a model of the disease of interest (512); and determining a state of the patie nt based on the model (514). The system includes a data miner (350) for mining information from a patient record (310) using a domain knowledge base (330) relating to a disease of interest; and a processor (402) for creating a patient model of the disease of interest, processing the mined data in the model to determine a current state of the patient and future states for different courses of treatment, and recommending a therapy based on the determined future state.
