Rule-Based Reasoning For Medical Diagnosis

Medical diagnosis is a major part of health care services. Clinicians are always
looking for a way to better the services and quality of healthcare. This project purpose is to
develop a knowledge based system in order to assist clinicians in medical diagnosis. The use
of such system is expected to increase the quality of medical and healthcare. The system main
purpose is to act as a reminder system to the clinicians. Ultimately, the clinicians themselves
are the one who will be making the diagnose decision. The system is there to assist them, by
giving timeliness medical information, and to help refresh their memory and reduce the error
that could happen during diagnosis. Methodology used in developing the system is phased
development of the Rapid Application Development methodology. Several versions of the
system will be developed. The result will be an expert system that takes input, which are
clinical symptoms from user and then list several disease that the patient might have suffered
according to the symptoms. Besides that, suggested treatment will also be display for each
listed disease. The system also acts as repository system where it has patient records
functions.
