Abstract

Digital age has reform decision making especially in medical field through information and communication technology which become inevitable part of our lives. this paper illustrates the implementation constraint that encompasses developing Fuzzy Expert System (FES) for diagnosis of common diseases usually found in Taraba State. The paper, shows how fuzzy expert works through four distinct phases. It is discovered that the ratio of doctors to patients and the ratio of hospitals to doctors in Taraba is too low. Different literature that discussed how expert systems for diagnosing various diseases were reviewed; Interview, clinical observation, asking question and internet services were used as methodology for accomplishing this paper. Result were illustrated and finally conclusion was drowned which shows that e-medical solution for diagnosing disease would do well in Taraba because of the opportunities it offers but it loaded with challenges and implementation constraint.

Highlights

  • When we asked any person with experience and knowledge of artificial intelligence where they see the most potential for application of expert system of applied artificial intelligence, they unanimously agreed on healthcare

  • 6.1 How existing medical diagnosis works: It is observed that, traditional method of diagnosing patient take place when a patient brought him/herself to the hospital where a file would be opened for him/her, the file would contain her/his personal record after which a number would be given to him/her on a small card which she/he will be using when follow-up

  • The patient will join the queue waiting to consult with doctor that is available, depending on the time consume, on consulting with doctor when his/her turn is here, the doctor will ask the patient several questions which may include:

Introduction

When we asked any person with experience and knowledge of artificial intelligence where they see the most potential for application of expert system of applied artificial intelligence, they unanimously agreed on healthcare. The ultimate dream in healthcare is to eradicate disease entirely This dream might be possible one day with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI), but we have a very long way to go. Expert system is a branch of applied artificial intelligence that deals with designing and developing of software application which used to take an expert view in the absence of a human proficiency. An expert system is an intelligent computer application that has been developed by expert engineer who has sophisticated knowledge in logical programming and talent in knowledge acquisition and analysis. This intelligent application can be web-based, desktop or mobile application and is characterized by high performance, understandable, reliable and is highly responsive. Expert system is usually developed with the data acquired by expert engineer from human expert who is versed and expert in a specific domain
