Abstract

In this paper two approaches for facilitating therapy decision support are proposed and compared. Both approaches, the Collaborative Recommender and hybrid Demographic-based Recommender, are based on recommender system methods which origin from the field of product recommendation in e-commerce applications. An exemplary dataset comprising health record excerpts of patients suffering from the skin disease psoriasis is used for evaluating both approaches. The approaches estimate the outcome of a subset of systemic therapies to support the medical practitioner in making therapy decisions for a specific patient and time, i.e. consultation under consideration. Both systems proved to work and are capable of assisting medical practitioners prospectively with making appropriate therapy decisions.
