An Expert System for Diabetic Microvascular Complication Diagnosis
This work presents the design of an expert system that aims to provide the doctors with limited practical experience and the diabetic patients more background for suitable diagnosis of diabetic microvascular complications. In modern society, more and more people get diabetes. Complications of this disease can affect almost every organ in the body like heart, eyes, kidney, skin, nerves, blood vasculum and foot etc. They leave the very serious consequences for the patient. Early diagnosis of complications of diabetes can get tremendous value to patients and society. Hence an expert system for diabetes microvascular complication diagnosis can be used to assist for the doctors with limited clinical experience in situations without consultation directly to a specialist. In constructing an expert system, the knowledge representation plays a very important key. Therefore in this paper we also propose a new model of knowledge representation used to represent the complicated knowledge in medical domain and construct the Expert System for Diabetic Microvascular Complication Diagnosis (ESDMCD).
