Fuzzy based medicine recommendation system: an example of thyroid medicine

Abstract

Many expert system or decision support system or recommendation system is developed to assist medical experts for better result and immediate result. Everyday there is new advancement comes into play with the help of Machine learning algorithms (neural network, Bayesian network) and data mining (clustering, classification) algorithms for effective prediction of disease like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and many more. Now, researchers using machine learning with datamining to automate the medicine recommendation. So, the risk of prescribing incorrect medicine can be decreased as many deaths comes in news are due to wrong medication or patients can have some allergies which medical experts don't know The motive of this work is to draft an Expert system for diagnosis of Thyroid disease as well as to prescribe medicine for the same. The system has 7 inputs and and on basis of these, two outputs are drawn which is disease and medicine The output field refers to the presence of thyroid disease in the patient as well as medicine according to level of disease.
