a rather real-life-oriented study [19], Pythagorean fuzzy data were considered, in which different evaluation data were provided in the form of Pythagorean fuzzy decision matrices regarding the feasible alternatives. The entries were taken from the views of experts and were described by fuzzy numbers from Pythagoras Table 2.2. In order to solve the resulting MCDM problems under uncertainty, they also broadened the application of the classical TOPSIS system. The most appropriate location and priority setting for buying the best healthcare technology could be decided by this process.
In another fresh-taste study [20], the emphasis was on a muchdiscussed issue of workplace hazards, including protection and effectiveness of health workers against public abuse. To define and prioritize control measures of aggression, their innovative approach used fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy Additive Ratio Assessment. They described the solution as the best advice for controlling violence against health workers by increasing the number of security personnel and training staff.
Below, Part C of Table 2.1 presents some very recent related articles published in highly acclaimed journals. This way, above deliberations, find ample scopes of research on applications of fuzzy set theory on the health-care and medicine problems.
2.7 Conclusion
The IoT is a great blended domain for many fields such as mHealth application’s development. The mHealth application’s development is very trendy topic among the research community due to its direct involvement with the human’s life. These applications mostly focus on static patients but do not focus on the remote patient’s monitoring. The remote patient’s monitoring is getting fame due to fewer innovations and work is done in this domain. In this chapter we investigated different health issues. Additionally, the fuzzy logics work with a focus on their major components of the applications to develop for health monitoring is discussed. There is a strong need to address these all mentioned issues sot enhance the health sector both in eHealth and mHealth Environments.
