Abstract

Process mining is an emerging study area adopting a data-driven approach and classical model-based process analysis. Process mining techniques are applicable in different domains and may represent standalone tools or integrated solutions within other fields. In this paper, we propose an approach based on a meta-states concept to extract additional features from discovered process models for predictive modelling. We show how a simple assumption about cyclic process behaviours can not only help to structure and interpret the process model but to be used in machine learning tasks. We demonstrate the proposed approach for hypertension control status prognosis within a remote monitoring program. The results are potential for medical diagnosis and model interpretation.
