Validity of association rules extracted by healthcare-data-mining

A personal healthcare system used with cloud computing has been developed. It enables a daily time-series of personal health and lifestyle data to be stored in the cloud through mobile devices. The cloud automatically extracts personally useful information, such as rules and patterns concerning the user´s lifestyle and health condition embedded in their personal big data, by using healthcare- data-mining. This study has verified that the extracted rules on the basis of a daily time-series data stored during a half- year by volunteer users of this system are valid.
