Agent-based intelligent medical diagnosis system for patients.

BACKGROUND According to the analysis of the challenges faced by the current public health circumstances such as the sharp increase in elderly patients, limited medical personnel, resources and technology, the agent-based intelligent medical diagnosis system for patients (AIMDS) is proposed in this research. OBJECTIVE Based on advanced sensing technology and professional medical knowledge, the AIMDS can output the appropriate medical prescriptions and food prohibition when the physical signs and symptoms of the patient are inputted. METHODS Three core modules are designed include sensing module, intuition-based fuzzy set theory/medical diagnosis module, and medical knowledge module. RESULTS The result shows that the optimized prescription can reach the desired level, with great curative effect for patient disease, through a case study simulation. CONCLUSION The presented AIMDS can integrate sensor technique and intelligent medical diagnosis methods to make an accurate diagnosis, resulting in three-type of optimized descriptions for patient selection.
