Application of expert systems in medicine

In this talk, we will present some development of expert system for decision-making in diagnosis and treatment in medicine. These systems guide the user to collect easily the patient information, based on those information points that can lead to a possible diagnose and to the adapted treatment of the diseases. They guide the user during the medical examination (physical) that will be done on the patient showing the definitions, images, sounds and/or videos of the signs associated to their disease and verify that the doctor does not forget to examine none of the criteria diagnoses even though is the first time that he sees or knows this sign. 
 
Once the patient data collected, the diagnose is based on the stored medical knowledge. The data on symptoms or signs, special data of laboratory or tests or radiological images are process by the system using defined rules to obtain the possible diagnoses. Additional data such as the presence or absence of certain signs and symptoms help to make a final diagnose. The rules of these Expert systems include the diagnose criteria from world-wide Associations, as well as algorithms designed by members of the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems of the University of The Andes. The qualities of this system are: 
 
1. It can diagnose of one or more diseases and suggests the appropriate therapy. 
 
2. It diagnoses the absolute absence of anyone of these diseases. 
 
3. It can find some symptoms or signs due to any exogenous cause (a differential diagnose). 
 
4. It notifies to the doctor that the patient does not fill the minimum criteria for some of the diseases and in this case, suggests a new evaluation. 
 
5. It suggests send the patient to a specialist. 
 
The reasoning for establishing diagnoses or hypotheses of diagnoses is given as well as the plans for other examinations and for patient treatment. Also it is indicated when there are inexplicable signs, symptoms or laboratory data. They include the realization of a set of questions individualized for each subject and the selection of data that is going to be acquired answering the questions.
