Study on a HDSS-based PEI model for chronic disease management

Abstract

Patients with chronic diseases need continuous healthcare management along with a treatment-based healthcare service and an extended decision-making support model that provides selfmanagement guidelines and a checkup schedule based on the patients' behavior. Thus, in order to facilitate improvement in patients' health, the present study proposes a Healthcare Decision Support System (HDSS)-based PEI model in which personalized, rule-evolution, and intelligent concepts are mounted. The proposed PEI model provides personalized monitoring and guidelines through the Dynamic Healthgraphics service using Infographics, which is a data visualization technique to view the examination results and health status of patients at a glance.
