## Abstract

With the continuous growth of medical data and advancements in medical technology, there is an increasing need for personalized and accurate assisted diagnosis. However, implementing recommendation systems in healthcare presents numerous challenges, requiring further in-depth research.

This study explores the application of recommendation technology in smart healthcare. The primary goal is to design a deep learning model that effectively integrates medical knowledge for improved diagnostic support.

We first developed a feature engineering process tailored to the characteristics and requirements of medical data. This process involved data preparation, feature selection and transformation to extract informative features. Subsequently, a knowledge-matching deep learning model was designed to analyze and predict medical data. This model enhances evaluation metrics through its capabilities in nonlinear fitting and feature learning.

Experimental results indicate that our proposed deep learning model achieves an average improvement of +2.7% in the core metrics Hits@10 compared to baseline models in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinical recommendation scenario. The model effectively processes medical data, providing accurate predictions and valuable insights to support clinical decision-making.

This research provides significant support for the advancement and application of smart medical technology. Our deep learning model demonstrates strong potential for medical data analysis and clinical decision-making. It can contribute to enhanced healthcare quality and efficiency, ultimately advancing the medical field.
