Automated Screening Tests for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Patient Diagnosis Management System for the Usage of Clinical Neurologists

This project aims to provide help to clinical neurologists in the form of a multi-purpose
system whereby the clinician will have an ease going through the vast number of
patients with all sorts of neurological conditions. The system itself is very versatile and
can be used for various types of neurological conditions depending on what the clinician
intends to practice in. The system perpetuates the tracking of the condition of a patient
once entered into the system by means of questionnaires and retrieval of data from past
visits. The end point of the system means to generate a report for the doctor's perusal
prior to the consultation period. In this way time consumption is decreased per patient
and thus more patients can be attended to. The main contribution of the project will be to
provide a manageable interface for clinicians, patients and nurses so that the above
solutions can be achieved. The project expands onto using the system to research on Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and its diagnosis.
It also allows a comparative study between the conventional methods of diagnosis
against the automated one. The current results after the trial run of the automated show
that neither method seems so different, further research with a new set of subjects is
needed to determine the efficiency of automated screening tests. The user interface
evaluation suggests that improvisations are needed in the areas of adaptability and
reliability.
