Abstract
The Neural networks are a tool that can be used for the modelling of many systems and process behavior. Quality of life has been receiving significant attention in health care systems over the past years. In public health research the ‘quality of life’ concept is often analyzed in the frame of ‘health-related quality of life’. The artificial neural networks can “understand” the information from the health care processes. For the estimations between these two concepts we use intuitionistic fuzzy set.
