Abstract :
The mimicking of human intelligence towards the betterment of the society has always been a part of my dream since young. Till this day, on every visit to the hospital, I would often imagine the possibilities of applying my knowledge in Computational Intelligence (CI) to replace the doctor on non-critical medical prognosis and diagnosis such as the flu and cough, so as to relieve the stress on our healthcare system and reduce the waiting time. Such an intelligent device will be equipped with a comprehensive set of basic symptoms a patient may relate and the knowledge database consisting of rules in the form of “IF input X THEN diagnosis Y ELSE…” will then offer medical diagnosis to illness based on a combination of these human interpretable rules.
