Abstract
As the quality of the medical treatment service provided by large hospitals grow, the number of patients utilizing the facilities is increasing dramatically. Various studies such as order communication system and treatment guidance system are under their process in order to shorten the waiting time for patients. However, the existing methods assign the treatments in successive order without recognizing the situation of each treatment, therefore increasing a patient's standby time at a hospital. This paper proposes a context-aware treatment guidance system, which recognizes the previously undermined estimated waiting time of each treatment for a patient and recommends a treatment with shorter estimated sojourn time first. This context-aware treatment guidance system provides detailed information of treatment services based on the recommended order of treatments to a patient's smartphone. By utilizing the context-aware treatment guidance system introduced in this paper, patients can reduce their standby time at hospitals to the minimum while hospitals can efficiently service more patients at the same amount of time. The proposed context-aware treatment guidance system proves to be outstanding in treatment order recommendation through comparisons to previously used methods.
