A brief history of temporal reasoning in medical applications is given. An expert system called Monitor is described that can perform the following tasks: the incremental evaluation of the data; retrieval of historical data for comparison purposes; determination of the validity of the data cross references over time; assessment of the disease progression by abstracting trends and changes from the time-ordered data; and extraction of duration information from the symptom data. An initial evaluation of Monitor using 111 cases has shown that the system can classify 88% of the cases correctly.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":291071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Symposium on the Engineering of Computer-Based Medical","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123703907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear-discriminant analysis (LDA), nonlinear discriminant analysis (NLDA), and sequential-statistical analysis (SSA) are compared with the decision-making practices of physicians, as they differentiated 175 cases with anterior or posterior aphasia, 789 cases with cerebral infarction or intracerebral hemorrhage, and 200 cases of schizophrenia or schizophreniform organic psychosis. Comparisons showed that the clinical decision-making process used by physicians can be approximated by neural sets or parallel distributed processing. Implications for the implementation of computer diagnostic programs in clinical practice are discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":291071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Symposium on the Engineering of Computer-Based Medical","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116009602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system is simple enough to be used in most of today's expert system shells. Other advantages include the use of a computation network to represent expert-defined rules, the ability to handle any well-defined inference method, the increased storage efficiency that comes from sharing constructs whenever possible, and the ability to use both numeric and nonnumeric data. AGNESS' menu-driven interface has several features that make the system friendly and convenient to use. Five expert systems generated by AGNESS are described.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":291071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Symposium on the Engineering of Computer-Based Medical","volume":"21 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133652736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Safety consideration begins upon product description with a hazard analysis whereby potential hazards are classified according to their criticality and rough probability of occurrence. The completed hazard analysis determines the software safety requirements which specify what the system will not do. A system-hazard cross-check matrix is defined that serves to direct the design team to those areas requiring more scrutiny. Traceability matrices provide a verifiable link from safety requirements design to the actual code. This methodology should serve to minimize hazards in the final software product.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":291071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Symposium on the Engineering of Computer-Based Medical","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129063139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
