ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a set of assessment criteria for the healthcare sector regarding the selection and evaluation of smart wearable devices and associated outcome measurements for real-world settings. It suggests an MCDM technique to analyze the smart medical device selection process in an unpredictable environment caused of the multi-criteria nature of the selection process. The chapter consists of two decision-making methods, the CRiteria Importance through Intercriteria Correlation method and the COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (COPRAS) method. Zavadskas et al. presented the COPRAS approach to the scientific community. This approach is now considered to be one of the most well-known MCDM methods. It is used to choose the best viable choice from a large number of potential alternatives. The chapter discusses results obtained from applying the neutrosophic CRITIC-COPRAS approach used to evaluate five intelligent cardiac wearable monitoring devices. It evaluates a number of smart wearable medical cardiac monitors which are to be used in the healthcare industry.
