Abstract: Healthcare systems aim to achieve the best possible support for patient care and to provide good medical care. Good analysis of requirements is essential to avoid any crises. Elicitation of healthcare systems requirements is an emerging and critical phase. It is a challenging task to deal with constraints from the stakeholders and restrictions of the legal issues. In this research, an approach "Conceptual Mapping for non-functional Health care Requirements; CMHR" is proposed to perform an analysis and to evaluate the relationship between the clinical non-functional requirements of medical devices (ventilators as an example in this research) according to the following five attributes: prioritization of requirements, suitability, feasibility, achievability, and risky. Requirements are automatically clustered using the K-means++ algorithm to find out the optimal number of clusters. Requirements are then clustered to visualize the concept map. Clustering is applied on different combinations of the attributes to sort the requirements and to visualize them. Label names are assigned to the classes of requirements to assign each requirement to the appropriate class. Consequently, a prediction of a new requirement can be figured automatically. The approach achieved less rework, fast delivery of the project with good quality, and achieved a higher level of user satisfaction.

Keywords: Conceptual mapping; healthcare systems; clustering; requirement engineering analysis
