Abstract

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is an information processing system that has certain performance characteristics that are artificial representatives based on human neural networks. ANN method has been widely applied to help human performance, one of which is health. In this research, ANN will be used to diagnose cataracts, especially Congenital Cataracts, Juvenile Cataracts, Senile Cataracts and Traumatic Cataracts based on the symptoms of the disease. The ANN method used is the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) method. The data used in this research were 146 data taken from the medical record data of RSUD Dr. M. Haulussy, Ambon. The data consists of 109 data as training data and 37 data as testing data. By using learning rate (α) = 0.1, decrease in learning rate (dec α) = 0.0001 and maximum epoch (max epoch) = 5, the accuracy rate obtained is 100%.

Highlights

  • The eye is a sense of the human body that is constantly adjusting the amount of light entering it, focusing attention on objects near and far, and producing continuous pictures delivered instantly to the brain[1, 2]

  • The purpose of this paper is to diagnose the type of cataract based on the symptoms felt by the patient optimally using a decision-making system by applying the artificial neural network Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) method, to determine the type of treatment as soon as possible

  • 3.1 Setting Input Variables Inputs used in the form of symptoms that cause cataracts. Where these symptoms are used to diagnose cataract based on the data that the patient has obtained

Summary

Introduction

The eye is a sense of the human body that is constantly adjusting the amount of light entering it, focusing attention on objects near and far, and producing continuous pictures delivered instantly to the brain[1, 2]. Eye diseases can be caused by germs, bacteria, viruses, body organ failures, and genetically inherited. There are a lot of eye diseases threatening humans including glaucoma, conjunctivitis, keratitis, dry eyes, and cataracts[4]. A cataract is one of the causes of sight disruption where eye lenses that are usually clear are clouded[5, 6]. According to 2001 Survei Kesehatan Rumah Tangga (SKRT) data, cataract is a sight disruption without pain symptoms. Blindness by cataracts are mostly caused by the inability of performing proper surgery and the rest of the cataract sufferers did not know that blindness can be prevented[7, 8]
