Efficient Low-Resource Medical Information Processing Based on Semantic Analysis and Granular ComputingJust Accepted

The rise of the digital economy and e-commerce has fostered a movement towards efficient low-resource medical information processing, a trend that holds great importance in the healthcare sector. Diabetes, being a widespread chronic condition, has witnessed the introduction of glucometers, which offer patients a convenient method of monitoring their blood sugar levels. However, it is worth noting that a considerable proportion of online comments may be subject to emotional bias or contain inaccurate information. Furthermore, the performance of glucometers can be influenced by several attributes, including price, accuracy and portability, thereby potentially complicating the decision-making process for consumers. Semantic analysis can be employed to acquire valuable information, aiding consumers in reasonably choosing the suitable glucometer. This paper utilizes the benefits of granular computing, an emerging computing paradigm, to effectively handle incomplete and uncertain medical information. It employs generalized fuzzy sets, rough sets and three-way decisions (TWD) techniques to boost the accuracy and reliability of medical information fusion. Subsequently, the MABAC (Multi-Attribute Border Approximation Area Comparison) method is utilized to evaluate the reviews of every glucometer, calculate their aggregated scores, and rank and compare them. Ultimately, in light of consumers’ needs and trade-offs, the glucometer with the highest score can be selected. The proposed approach comprehensively considers the weight and priority of multiple attributes, reduces information overload and mitigates selection difficulties, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of low-resource medical information processing.
