• Abstract: Patient similarity analysis is important in health care applications. It takes patient information such as their electronic medical records and genetic data as input and computes the pairwise similarity between patients. Procedures of typical a patient similarity study can be divided into several steps including data integration, similarity measurement, and neighborhood identification. And according to an analysis of patient similarity, doctors can easily find the most suitable treatments. There are many methods to analyze the similarity such as cluster analysis. And during machine learning become more and more popular, Using neural networks such as CNN is a new hot topic. This review summarizes representative methods used in each step and discusses applications of patient similarity networks especially in the context of precision medicine.

  Electronic health records contain time-resolved information about medical visits, tests and procedures, as well as outcomes. By assessing the similarities among these journeys, it is possible to uncover clusters of common disease trajectories with shared health outcomes. The assignment of patient journeys to specific clusters may in turn serve as the basis for personalized outcome prediction and treatment selection.
