Case Retrieval using Bhattacharya Coefficient with Particle Swarm Optimization

Now a day, health information management and utilization is the demanding task to health informaticians for delivering the eminence healthcare services. Extracting the similar cases from the case database can aid the doctors to recognize the same kind of patients and their treatment details. Accordingly, this paper introduces the method called H-BCF for retrieving the similar cases from the case database. Initially, the patient’s case database is constructed with details of different patients and their treatment details. If the new patient comes for treatment, then the doctor collects the information about that patient and sends the query to the H-BCF. The H-BCF system matches the input query with the patient’s case database and retrieves the similar cases. Here, the PSO algorithm is used with the BCF for retrieving the most similar cases from the patient’s case database. Finally, the Doctor gives treatment to the new patient based on the retrieved cases. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed with the existing methods, such as PESM, FBSO-neural network, and Hybrid model for the performance measures accuracy and F-Measure. The experimental results show that the proposed method attains the higher accuracy of 99.5% and the maximum F-Measure of 99% when compared to the existing methods
