Medical data, such as electronic health records, are a repository for a patient's medical records for use in the diagnosis of different diseases. Using medical data for individual patient care raises a number of concerns, including trustworthiness in data management, privacy, and patient data security. The introduction of visual analytics, a computing system that integrates analytics approaches with interactive visualizations, can potentially deal with information overload concerns in medical data. The practice of assessing the trustworthiness of visual analytics tools or applications using factors that affect medical data analysis is known as trustworthiness evaluation for medical data. It has a variety of major issues, such as a lack of important evaluation of medical data, the need to process much of medical data for diagnosis, the need to make trustworthy relationships clear, and the expectation that it will be automated. Decision-making strategies have been utilized in this evaluation process to avoid these concerns and intelligently and automatically analyze the trustworthiness of the visual analytics tool. The literature study found no hybrid decision support system for visual analytics tool trustworthiness in medical data diagnosis. Thus, this research develops a hybrid decision support system to assess and improve the trustworthiness of medical data for visual analytics tools using fuzzy decision systems. This study examined the trustworthiness of decision systems using visual analytics tools for medical data for the diagnosis of diseases. The hybrid multi-criteria decision-making-based decision support model, based on the analytic hierarchy process and sorting preferences by similarity to ideal solutions in a fuzzy environment, was employed in this study. The results were compared to highly correlated accuracy tests. In conclusion, we highlight the benefits of our proposed study, which includes performing a comparison analysis on the recommended models and some existing models in order to demonstrate the applicability of an optimal decision in real-world environments. In addition, we present a graphical interpretation of the proposed endeavor in order to demonstrate the coherence and effectiveness of our methodology. This research will also help medical experts select, evaluate, and rank the best visual analytics tools for medical data.
医学数据,如电子健康记录,是患者病历的存储库,用于诊断不同疾病。将医学数据用于个体患者护理引发了诸多问题,包括数据管理的可信度、隐私以及患者数据安全。视觉分析的引入,即一种将分析方法与交互式可视化相结合的计算系统,有可能解决医学数据中的信息过载问题。使用影响医学数据分析的因素来评估视觉分析工具或应用的可信度的做法,被称为医学数据的可信度评估。它存在各种重大问题,例如缺乏对医学数据的重要评估、为诊断需要处理大量医学数据、需要明确可信赖的关系以及期望实现自动化。在这个评估过程中已经使用了决策策略来避免这些问题,并智能且自动地分析视觉分析工具的可信度。文献研究发现,在医学数据诊断中,没有用于视觉分析工具可信度的混合决策支持系统。因此,本研究开发了一种混合决策支持系统,以使用模糊决策系统评估和提高视觉分析工具的医学数据可信度。本研究考察了使用视觉分析工具进行医学数据疾病诊断的决策系统的可信度。本研究采用了基于层次分析法和模糊环境下与理想解相似度排序偏好的混合多准则决策的决策支持模型。将结果与高度相关的准确性测试进行了比较。总之,我们强调了我们所提出研究的益处,包括对推荐模型和一些现有模型进行比较分析,以证明最优决策在现实环境中的适用性。此外,我们对所提出的工作进行了图形化解释以展示我们方法的连贯性和有效性。这项研究还将帮助医学专家选择、评估和排名最佳的医学数据视觉分析工具。
