title: A computer-assisted case report and diagnosis system: sharing the knowledge database ADM and using hypermedia techniques.
abstract: The practice of medicine is characterized by its great variability and by many rare diseases. When the medical students work in hospital units, they must learn the general medical practice in the care of the patient. The purpose of this work was to present a French multifunction decision aid system using artificial intelligence techniques and Hypercard tools for different modules. Through an ergonomic interface, the system assists the user in the construction of medical observations, suggests diagnostic hypothesis, provides documentation and helps the user perform retrieval tasks. The knowledge comes from senior experts and from the pre-existent and large knowledge database, ADM.
