2020 European Conference on Artificial Intelligence  
Among the major advances in Artificial Intelligence we can mention Knowledge Discovery, Processing and Representation. Since in our modern society the healthcare system plays an important role and has a major impact in our daily lives, it lies at hand to apply the aforementioned methods in order to discover relevant patterns in healthcare databases and then to represent them in a way which supports reasoning, decision making, and communication. We approach this task by using two complementary

On the one hand we make use of the graphical representation capabilities of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and its powerful algorithms for conceptual knowledge discovery and processing. On the other, we use graph databases as a complementary visualization method of the extracted knowledge patterns. We exemplify this approach on a particular medical dataset, highlighting a 3D representation of conceptual hierarchies by using virtual reality (VR).
