Abstract

In the age of the web, we become aware that the use of recommender systems (RSs) is versatile. The abundant data produced by smart devices on the web originate uncertainty for medical treatment to pick a preferred suggestion. Symptomoriented guidelines are a noble way to direct patients to notice the right medical tests and drugs. The RS aims to tailor search results, past browsing history, and searching patterns to guess what patients might look for in medical facilities soon. For instance, a client searching for signs and symptoms of B12 deficiency might recommend the best food sources, medicines, and healthcare officials. Unlike current literature in the health domain, our work offers insights into recommendation scenarios and approaches. Two major RSs exist either collaborative or content filtering. The essential of the RS exists in determining similar patients (or symptoms). We outlined the introduction, prior works emphasizing recommender filters, and their strengths and weaknesses. Later, we categorize types therein and briefly discuss similarity metrics applied to filter neighborhoods, and the choice of estimation metrics for evaluating the RS is discussed.
