A Neutrosophic Cognitive Map Based Approach to Explore the Health Deterioration Factors

Abstract

Neutrosophy has gained an exponential fame in recent years among researchers and
academician especially when there is a need to deal with different and difficult situations. Out of
several neutrosophy-sets related concepts, the researchers have used neutrosophic cognitive maps
for identifying the hidden and indeterminate factors that can influence a particular situation or can
significantly affect any problems which involve making decisions. In our study, we have used
neutrosophic cognitive maps to explore the factors which can lead to health deterioration. The
present method not only illustrates the way neutrosophic cognitive maps can be used but also
suggest ways which can help the masses in finding out the health affecting factors and to control it.
It is believed that the proposed method can be helpful for analyzing many such a situation and can
set a benchmark in using soft computing for healthcare.
