    A new microcomputer system enhances epidemiological data handling for Italy's National Health Service. This AI-powered tool supports data analysis and decision-making for health workers with minimal informatics training.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Health Informatics
    • Artificial Intelligence

    Background:

    • Local Health Units in Italy faced challenges with uniform and correct epidemiological data handling.
    • Existing systems lacked user-friendly interfaces and advanced analytical capabilities for health workers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and implement a microcomputer system for standardized epidemiological data management.
    • To integrate artificial intelligence for enhanced data analysis and decision support.
    • To provide an accessible tool for health workers with limited informatics expertise.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a microcomputer system with flexible file definition and data manipulation capabilities.
    • Implementation of two AI-based modules for knowledge input/updating and epidemiological reasoning.
