Development and evaluation of a computer expert system for the management of fetal distress
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.
Abstract:
The general lack of specialist obstetricians in a developing country such as Malaysia prompted us to develop a computer expert system for the management of fetal distress in rural hospitals. It was based on accepted production rules and implemented on a microcomputer. The clinical prototype was evaluated by 8 specialist obstetricians and 21 non-specialist doctors involved in obstetric care. The initial impression was that this type of expert system may help in diagnosis, decision-making and teaching.
