Data Mining: From Medical Decision Support to Hospital Management

  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter gives history of my research on data mining, which was started from 1989 when I graduated from Osaka University, School of Medicine. In order to deal with electronization of all clinical data and records, I started to develop analytic techniques to extract knowledge useful for medical decision making. Firstly, I focused on rule induction and then moved into temporal data mining. The achievements are shown in this chapter.

    Rules from 5 to 7 are newly induced by introducing attributes on risk factors.

  2. 2.

    I received the Ph.D. degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1997 for working on this subject.
