Abstract:

Data mining and knowledge service in medical and healthcare field has become one of the core needs of the development of related industry. Data mining as the key technology of knowledge extraction has gained much attention in recent years. This paper first summarized common models and algorithms of data mining in the field of medicine and healthcare, and then reviewed the application status of this technology in three aspects, including assistance of completing medical tasks, scientific management of medical resources, and improvement of health information service. Meanwhile, this paper concluded the subdivided application areas, algorithms and representative publications. In addition, it also summarized the limitations and problems according to the data mining process. Finally, three future research directions have been put forward.
