Applied Life Sciences: Fuzzy Linear Programming in Modern Healthcare Systems

The medical system makes use of evolving technologies, algorithms, and software for analyzing complexity in healthcare. Recent technological applications can significantly improve the accuracy of diagnoses, patient care, and the design and development of novel drugs. Early diagnosis of diseases and effective management and control with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper medications are effective approaches to reducing the complexity of diseases for well-being. Since undiagnosed and untreated diseases can have serious consequences, regular screening is undeniably useful for facilitating better treatment at the right time. Fuzzy linear programming plays a key role in strategic planning, modeling, and analyzing the modern healthcare system for efficient control. Optimizing fuzzy linear programming-based techniques is critical to identifying a cause, selecting the appropriate diagnostic method, preventing complications, and solving them.

Modern diagnostic tools need to identify all vital criteria relevant to the disease. Despite the data from those criteria being changeable, they affect the progress of disease diagnosis. Using fuzzy linear programming to perform data mining with advanced techniques and technologies is crucial to controlling a large amount of big data for predicting and diagnosing different categories of diseases and precisely detecting patients suffering from more than one disease, which is quite a challenge for medical specialists. Since long-term health effects emerge if any disease is not managed or treated properly. Fuzzy-based modern techniques are approached to identify the risk of critical diseases among the patients, minimal errors, diminish mortality rate, less human intervention and effort, etc., Developing fuzzy linear programming-based medical diagnostic system are required for high accuracy which is extremely challenging in the diagnosis of all types of health-related ailments.

This Topical Collection outlines the significance of the modern healthcare system for advanced analysis of medical prevention or treatment methods with fuzzy linear programming for high precision. A variety of techniques and technologies in medical data management are being used to provide better treatments.
