Optimal treatment recommendations for diabetes patients using the Markov decision process along with the South Korean electronic health records

Abstract The extensive utilization of electronic health records (EHRs) and the growth of enormous open biomedical datasets has readied the area for applications of computational and machine learning techniques to reveal fundamental patterns. This study’s goal is to develop a medical treatment recomm...
