Is anyone using multidimensional vector analysis in healthcare for claims processing, medical auditing or disease management?
A visualization tool for multidimensional vector analysis has the potential of making predictive modeling and data mining available "to the masses" It seems that multidimensional vector analysis is mostly used in radiological interpretation of imaging, but it seems the complexity a diversity of healthcare data it can be used in other areas as well.

Hello Alberto,
II used such a solution, for a similar multidimensional complex task. Visualization in my model (GT data mining) is used for communicating the result, after untangling the various Groups and clarifying the driving factors.
I definitely agree with you regarding the potential of that technique and am interested in RFPs on this subject.
Regards,
Edith

Ten years ago I was streaming data into a program called trueSpace (Caligari Corporation) creating interactive data clouds. Vectors were defined in terms of Physics. Of course direction and scalar values were defined a bit differently than in the science.
The work was presented at the National convention of the American Psychiatric Association in New York City. The topic, in various forms, was presented in Europe and at other domestic venues. Even won a few awards.
The "whole nine yards" was directed at helping poor people get "out of the hole" through predictive, proactive interventions coordinated between the medical establishment, skill training centers, businesses and government sanctioned programs, based on existing values and user defined patterns within a multi-dimensional matrix.
The only problem, lacked a sufficient quantity of people that understood what we were talking about and the high cost of the system needed to indulge in what one executive called "fantasy".
What you suggest is now an easy mathetmatical exercise. Now we're working on just plain ol' AI. Of course now people believe anythings possible and you can tell by how much money is wasted on "pie in the sky" solutions to everything.
In retrospect, we used B. Fullers 60 degree coordination in the work. It's interesting that now the good old tetrahedral is making a splash in nano technology. However, most still are tied to traditional Calculus.
