Artificial intelligence (AI) can transform medical knowledge sharing by enabling the publication of clinical expertise as expert systems. The PROforma language facilitates this by providing a structured way to represent and disseminate medical knowledge for improved patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Knowledge Representation

Background:

  • Traditional medical knowledge dissemination relies on publications and clinical practice.
  • Information technology enhances dissemination through electronic publishing and virtual reality.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a paradigm shift for publishing clinical expertise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce PROforma, a novel knowledge representation language.
  • To describe the potential of AI in publishing clinical expertise.
  • To discuss the implications of PROforma for medical knowledge publishing.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the PROforma knowledge representation language.
  • Design based on an intuitive model of clinical processes.
