This study introduces the Intelligent Questionnaire, a computer system that generates tailored occupational history questionnaires. It enhances respiratory disease assessments by providing expert-level occupational health insights.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Clinical Informatics
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Obtaining comprehensive occupational histories is crucial for diagnosing work-related respiratory diseases.
  • Limited availability of clinical occupational health expertise poses a challenge for primary practitioners.
  • Systematic data collection is needed for effective occupational health surveillance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a computer-based system for generating case-specific occupational history questionnaires.
  • To overcome the limitations of human expertise in occupational health assessments.
  • To facilitate detailed and systematic data acquisition for respiratory disease evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Intelligent Questionnaire system, a computer-based tool.

  • Integration of three databases: Questions, Responses, and Calls.
  • Implementation of logical question sequencing and customized data entry screens.

    • Main Results:

    • The system provides case-specific questionnaires to assess the influence of work on respiratory disease.
    • It offers primary practitioners occupational health expertise on a case-by-case basis.
    • Facilitates detailed, systematic occupational health surveillance.

    Conclusions:

    • The Intelligent Questionnaire system enhances the specificity and consistency of occupational history taking.
    • It addresses the need for expert occupational health knowledge in primary care settings.
    • Computer-based systems can improve occupational health surveillance and patient care.
