Abstract:
Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is the process of
solving new problems based on the solution of
similar past problems. The system stores the
knowledge of medical experts and the medical
records of the previous cases. In medicine, it is very
difficult to get correct diagnosis because there are
many possible diseases in each case. And it is also
important to get diagnosis as soon as possible to save
lives of people. It is not easy for a person to consult a
medical specialist whenever she feels a symptom of a
disease. In this situation, a computer program giving
health information provides users to decide whether
the symptom is serious or not. The fundamental idea
in CBR is problem solving based on the retrieval of
similar cases, in its simplest form this is k-nearest
neighbor classification. This paper has presented
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diagnosis (COPD)
System which helps to diagnose a disease stages and
treatments by using the basic idea behind CBR and
classify the severity of COPD.
