What is Patient or Doctor Profiling

Handbook of Research on Advancing Health Education through Technology
A patient or doctor profile is a collection of information that can be used in a decision analysis situation between the doctor, domain environment, and patient. A static profile is kept in pre-fixed data fields where the period between data field updates is long such as months or years. A dynamic profile is constantly updated as per evaluation of the situation in which the situation occurs. The updates may be automated or performed manually. The automated user profile building is especially important in real time decision-making systems. The profiling of patient doctor model is based on the patient/doctor information.

Abstract
Real time data acquisition and evaluation are required to save lives. Such data with utilization and application of the latest technologies in hospitals around the world can improve patient treatments and well beings. The delivery of patient's medical data needs to be secure. Secure and accurate real time data acquisition and analysis of patient data and the ability to update such data will assist in reducing cost while improving patient's care. A wireless framework based on radio frequency identification (RFID) can integrate wireless networks for fast data acquisition and transmission, while maintaining the privacy issue. This chapter discusses the development of a framework that can be considered for secure patient data collection and communications in a hospital environment. A new method for data classification and access authorization has also been developed, which will assist in preserving privacy and security of data. Several Case studies are offered to show the effectiveness of this framework.
