Abstract :
Clinical decision support systems form a significant part of the field of clinical knowledge management technologies, being interactive computer programs, which are designed to assist physicians and other health professionals with decision making tasks. Nowadays, agent oriented techniques are important new means in analyzing, designing and building complex software systems. We propose in this paper an intelligent multiagent system, named IMASC, for assisting physicians in their decision making tasks. We have implemented the proposed system for assisting physicians in diagnosing the heart disease. The performance of our system and comparisons with other similar approaches are also reported.
