An Intelligent Human-Computer Interface for Medical Diagnosis Systems

Abstract

The first process in medical diagnosis is to gather useful patient data from physical examination. How to capture proper, correct and complete morbidity from a consultatio is a very difficult task. This paper proposes an intelligent human computer interface to alleviate the problem. It includes a hypermedia human-machine interface, a common sense and past Q&A repository, and a user assistant. The hypermedia interface provides a friendly human body image map for the clinician to easily enter patient data. it guides the user to input relevant patient's data according to his level of proficiency with the help of the medicine-ralated common sense and past Q&A scenarios. The user assistant supports the hypermedia interface by determining the proficientcy level of the user, checking the completeness, consistency, and rationality of the input data, and transforming the paitent data into a complete patient record. This intelligent system can help all levels of users to correctly and easily gather high-quality patient;s data.
