Abstract

The successful use of data mining in high-profile disciplines such as e-commerce, marketing, and retail has fueled interest in its usage in knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) in other businesses and sectors. Medicine and public health are two fields that are just getting started with data mining.
This research paper provides an overview of current KDD techniques for healthcare and public health, utilising data mining tools. It also addresses important issues and challenges related to data mining and healthcare in general.
