Knowledge-Based Medical Tourism Recommender System

Medical tourism refers to people travelling to other countries to access cost-effective and high-quality medical treatment. Over the past few years, the need for medical tourism has increased due to a lack of infrastructure in the places they reside or financial aid. Although there are websites that provide information regarding hospitals and their treatments, they employ basic filtration methods to present the results to the user. In order to address this problem, a medical tourism recommendation system was built.The medical tourism recommendation system is knowledge-based. It leverages the data available to offer the best results for each treatment. Based on the user’s requirements, the top-k recommendations are given using an aggregated score. The results have been validated and found to be satisfactory. The recommendation system would definitely benefit users who need to travel for their medical assistance and cater to their budget-friendliness and high-quality treatment requirements.
