Abstract
In primary health care, family history has been considered an important tool to assess the risk of having a certain disease in a person. As more and more data about the medical history of people is becoming available, it is possible to implement a dynamic disease forecast network to create the risk profile of all the family members. This network will update itself whenever medical data such as the test results of a person in the family change. The proposed network can be expanded as a child is born in the family.
