Abstract
One of the biggest cause of death is Diabetes Mellitus caused by a lack of public understanding of the symptoms of the disease, so that the diagnosis of the disease is not done as early as possible. This paper presents the research and the development of an Android based self-control management expert system for Diabetes Mellitus patients. This expert system purposed to diagnose Diabetes Mellitus disease based on symptoms experienced and to manage the dietary pattern in patients. The method used to develop expert system is forward chaining method. Implementation of the forward chaining method begins with gathering information then applying reasoning as a determinant of diagnosis conclusions using rule based If-Then. The development result is an expert system that can be used to diagnose Diabetes Mellitus and can be used to determine the dietary pattern in patients who are implemented on Android based mobile devices. This system shows more specific results in determining the diagnosis of the disease based on 4 types of Diabetes Mellitus. In addition, more specific in determining dietary pattern such as showing the number of calories, food levels and variations of food that can be consumed by patients.
Highlights
Expert system implementation has been widely used in the field of health
The development of expert system in health can be applied to a mobile device application, which is used as a self-control management in Diabetes Mellitus patients [3]
An expert system was created for the purposes of diagnosis and determination of dietary patterns in Diabetes Mellitus patients
Summary
Expert system implementation has been widely used in the field of health. One of the implementation of expert systems in the field of health is to diagnose symptoms in patients with Diabetes Mellitus [1]. In the expert system of diagnosis of symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus can be analyzed using the forward chaining method commonly utilized both for forecasting and controlling problems. It is the search method for gathering the existing information and combining the rules in order to find the object and conclusion. Use of applications on mobile devices can be used as a selfcontrol management in Diabetes Mellitus patients [3]. One is the use of mobile devices with the Android platform that can be used as a healthy control device [4]
