Veterinary Medical Expert System Focusing on Diagnosis of Hematological Disease in Feline Health

This project is to develop veterinary expert systems that can help veterinarian
diagnose type of cat's disease focusing on blood testing. This project is targetedfor
veterinarians. The main purpose of developing this project is to centralize and
computerize the process of blood diagnosis.
Base on the research at two of veterinary institute in Ipoh which are Jabatan
Perkhidmatan Haiwan (JPH) and Veterinary Research Institute (VRI), there are
some problems encountered in diagnosing blood diseases. First, both institutes
have no proper database to keep the information. In other words, they use filing
system in recording the information regarding diagnosing cat's diseases. Second,
the process of diagnosis cat's diseases is not centralized. JPH only diagnose normal
cat's diseases like flue, fever etc. If there is a serious case, they will take the blood
sample and send to VRI, so that VRI can do further investigation. After VRI do the
blood test, they send the result to JPH and JPH will diagnose cat's diseases base on
the result given by VRI. In simple words, VRI is more on lab testing focusing on
blood.
Therefore, this project proposal is to help both institutes in diagnosing blood
diseases especially for VRI. Instead of doing lab testing focusing on blood, VRI
may know what type of diseases that cat suffered. This project is applicable for
VRI because they may know the cat's diseases directly after they do the lab test
without send the result to JPH.
