[Education of patients with arterial disease. A plan for the use of Expert System in angiology via Minitel].
We are presenting a computer program requiring the use of an Expert System accessible by Minitel, intended for patients with arterial disease and their attending physician. The objective is not to make a diagnosis, but to train the patients in applying health measures to the handling and prevention of his/her disease. While remaining anonymous, the patient may consult the program at home, without any time constraint. Only the patient's physician can authorize him/her to have access to the program. The Expert System may adjust the answers to the patients according to the past history and recent data. Contrary to a computer program, new knowledge does not impair the functioning of the system. The physician has access to simplified modules regarding his patient, and specific modules regarding the treatment. Such a system would help general practitioners in following his patient and would facilitate the Doctor-Patient relationship during consultations.
