Emerging Fuzzy Intelligent Systems for Smart Healthcare Management: Applications of Disc q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets presents comprehensive methodological frameworks and the latest empirical research findings concerning disc q-rung orthopair fuzzy operators, with a specific focus on their applications in smart technologies for healthcare management. The book solves a crucial problem by offering readers an invaluable opportunity to conduct a comparative analysis, contrasting the proposed methods with their existing knowledge base. Disc q-Rung Orthopair sets, being the generalization of q-Rung Orthopair fuzzy sets, which are, in turn, the generalization of Pythagorean fuzzy sets, extend the capabilities of handling uncertainty beyond conventional fuzzy sets.The authors strive to narrow the knowledge gap by clarifying the practical applications of disc q-rung orthopair fuzzy logic. In addition, it explores an enhanced version of q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets, specifically focusing on Disc q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets, introducing various types of operators. These operators play a crucial role in solving decision-making and optimization problems. A notable contribution is the development of a hybrid operator, termed as the Disc q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Hybrid Weighted Averaging/Geometric (D-qROFHWA/G) operator.
