Application of Data Mining and Soft Computing Techniques for Intelligent Medical Data Analysis

Data Mining plays a crucial role in the field of Medicine. Although medical data is immeasurable and very rich in knowledge, but many a times the useful data may go fritter as we fail to extract the fruitful information from it. Extraction of effective information from wealthy medical data and making valuable decision for predicting the diseases increasingly becomes necessary. Data mining techniques can be used to mine the massive medical data and to learn the hidden pattern and relationships which helps in making effective decision. The paper strives to throws light on different methods used for knowledge abstraction by using data mining and soft computing techniques that are exercised in today's research for disease prediction.
