Area of Science:

  • Preventive Medicine
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
  • Clinical Decision Support Systems

Background:

  • Periodic preventive medicine examinations often use a standardized approach.
  • Physicians performing these examinations may have limited specialized training in preventive medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based expert system for personalized preventive medicine.
  • To create a system that provides specific recommendations for primary practitioners based on individual employee data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an AI-based expert system prototype.
  • The system customizes questions based on previous answers.
  • Information acquisition is dynamically selected.
