Hierarchical Deep Reinforcement Learning with Neural Turing Machines for Treatment Path Optimization

In an ever-changing healthcare environment, optimizing treatment programs remains a formidable obstacle. Traditional methodologies often need to capture the intricacies of individual patient requirements, leading to suboptimal outcomes and escalated costs. This paper introduces a framework incorporating Hierarchical Deep Reinforcement Learning (Hierarchical DRL) and Neural Turing Machines (NTMs) to revolutionize the treatment path optimization process. NTMs augment neural networks with external memory, facilitating logical reasoning with symbolic data, whereas Hierarchical DRL offers powerful capabilities for managing complex decision-making processes. The combination of these technologies seeks to create a scalable and adaptable system capable of learning from massive medical datasets and adjusting to dynamic medical recommendations. The proposed model demonstrates significant efficacy and adaptability in real-world medical scenarios through extensive experiments and case studies, representing an essential step toward personalized and effective healthcare solutions.
