The development of an auxiliar system to help in the pediatrics diagnosis using artificial neural networks

Abstract

The study about expert systems for Medical Decision is becoming more and more frequent. We propose the development of a system to help in the pediatrics diagnosis area, considering particular issues noticed in newborns and suckling, usually with non-specific clinical trial. This study also includes teenagers. An initial prototype was implemented using the artificial neural networks technology, together with the Visual Basic software from the Microsoft.
