M.O. Yinyeh, S. Alhassan . Expert Health Diagnosis and Monitoring System Software for Common Medical Conditions. International Journal of Computer Applications. 124, 1 ( August 2015), 17-22. DOI=10.5120/ijca2015905304
Abstract
The inadequate number of health personnel or professionals in some parts of the world especially in developing countries exposes patients to all manner of poor health service delivery by unqualified health personnel. To mitigate this phenomenon and reduce drug abuse in some cases, an expert health diagnosis system becomes handy to assist these unfortunate patients. This research presents the design of expert medical system software used to diagnose common ailments of patients and prescribes. The software would present reliable diagnostic to improve accuracy and quality of healthcare in places where access to quality health is inadequate, inaccessible or not affordable. This system would also assist health professionals by providing them with information on diseases that they would not have suspected. The software was developed using Visual Basic 2010 at the frontend and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 at the backend. The software can be installed on personal computers by medical practitioners, medical students or individuals who want to use this software to assist in administering first aid. The software works offline (it is not web based). The software minimum requirements for installations are; memory (RAM) 512 MB and Hard disk drive 1GB.
