Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Clinical Decision Support Systems

Background:

Existing medical judgment systems can be complex for non-expert users.
There is a need for simplified, accessible tools for medical data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel, simplified judgment system for medical applications.
To enable medical professionals to easily register and apply judgment rules.

Main Methods:

Development of a simplified judgment system utilizing a 3-AND-3-OR rule.
Application of the rule to analyze data across up to 60 items.
Categorization of results into four grades: normal, borderline, abnormal, and severe.

Main Results:

The system successfully categorizes individual item judgments into four distinct grades.
