Abstract(s)
In recent years, a wide range of Business Intelligence (BI) technologies have been applied
to different areas in order to support the decision-making process. BI enables the extraction of
knowledge from the data stored. The healthcare industry is no exception, and so BI applications have
been under investigation across multiple units of different institutions. Thus, in this article, we intend
to analyze some open-source/free BI tools on the market and their applicability in the clinical sphere,
taking into consideration the general characteristics of the clinical environment. For this purpose,
six BI tools were selected, analyzed, and tested in a practical environment. Then, a comparison metric
and a ranking were defined for the tested applications in order to choose the one that best applies to
the extraction of useful knowledge and clinical data in a healthcare environment. Finally, a pervasive
BI platform was developed using a real case in order to prove the tool viability.
