Applications of Data Mining Techniques in Healthcare and Prediction of Heart Attacks

Information Technology offer health care industry significant potential to improve productivity and quality of patient care. The area of Data mining in health care is growing rapidly because of strong need for analyzing the vast amount of clinical data bases stored in hospitals. The huge amounts of data generated by healthcare transactions are too complex and voluminous to be processed and analyzed by traditional methods. Data mining provides the methodology and technology to transform these volumes of data into useful information for decision making. In this paper ,the potential use of classification based data mining techniques such as Decision tree, Naïve Bayes are applied to massive volume of healthcare data.Experimental results predicts the hearthattack results for efficient decision making purpose.
