PROLOG EXPERT SYSTEM: THE DIAGNOSIS OF KIDNEY DISEASES
Eugene Rovenţa, George Roșu · 2015
A Medical Expert System made in Visual Prolog is proposed. This Expert System makes a differential diagnosis among the main kidney diseases. The diagnosis is made taking into account the clinical exam (the symptoms that can be seen and felt) and the paraclinical exam (the results of laboratory tests). This system is designed to give help to a medical expert in making the appropriate diagnosis of a patient. Why would it be needed in helping a physician? Because the kidney diseases have a lot of common symptoms and many of them are very much alike, fact that makes it very difficult even for a kidney specialist to put a right diagnosis. The proposed Expert System can address that. It contains in its knowledge base twenty-seven kidney diseases from nine different categories.
