Abstract

The paper presents how a design and implementation of a system for the investigation of patients suffering from liver disorders were done. The system is developed on the Apple Macintosh using the Hypercard system. Hypercard is a general purpose application development tool based on the hypertext technique. The system consists of a collection of chunks of text (medical knowledge, patient management procedure, statistical rules etc.) linked appropriately. The emphasis is on allowing the users to get access to the information they needed. The contents of the system are text and active links. By simple navigation commands-such as merely clicking a mouse button, the users are allowed to move around in the information base and get hold of the information sought
