Big Data for Healthcare: Using Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) Model to Build a National Platform for Disability Management

This paper presents a real-life example of successfully applying the Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) model to build a comprehensive system for managing disabled individuals in Vietnam. By leveraging the EAV model, we address the challenges of collecting and storing extensive disability-related data. Despite concerns about complexity and abstraction, our findings demonstrate that with careful design and architecture, successful implementation is achievable. This system serves as a practical solution for managing disabled individuals, offering insights for policymakers and organizations. The research contributes to innovative approaches in disability systems and provides a blueprint for similar systems in other regions.
