Applications and Subjects of Sequence Analysis for Medical Data

Abstract

In medical data sets, there are many types of sequences containing the meaningfulinformation. Sequences of medical orders, specimen inspections, and personal physiological measurementdata are good examples. We applied the sequential pattern mining for them to derive theuseful information for medical workers. However, there still are a number of subjects to be tackled.In this paper, we show some examples of applying the sequential pattern mining for medical data,and discuss the subjects based on the examples.
