Abstract

This article presents an automatic system for modeling clinical knowledge to follow a physician’s reasoning in medical consultation. Instance-based learning is applied to provide suggestions when recording electronic medical records. The system was validated on a real case study involving advanced medical students. The proposed system is accurate and efficient: 2.5× more efficient than a baseline empirical tool for suggestions and two orders of magnitude faster than a Bayesian learning method, when processing a testbed of 250 clinical case types. The research provides a framework to implement a real-time system to assist physicians during medical consultations.
