Fuzzy Logic: Theory and Healthcare Application

Abstract

This research was conducted with the intent to apply principles of fuzzy logic to the healthcare setting. This course of action was determined to be ideal because fuzzy logic is well suited to settings with little precision, like the human body and health in general. Fuzzy categories were determined for a variety of health indicators, like cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, and resting heart rate. These same fuzzy categories can be linked to a certain health recommendation which can improve patient health. Hence is the ultimate purpose of the research.
