DIABETOR computer aided tutoring in diabetes management.
Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) and Computer Aided Learning (CAL) Systems, are software systems that can tutor people in a given domain. Medicine is a field that is particularly amenable to computer aided instruction because one is allowed to experiment with a large number of hypothetical simulated patient/disease cases, without the ill consequences of the wrong decision in real life. This paper presents an Intelligent Tutoring system for the Management of the diabetes disease, and specifically for instruction in insulin administration. The system will be used for the education of medical personnel (general practitioners, nurses), as well as students of medicine in diabetes management. It is based on an existing expert system for diabetes management called DIABETES as well as on the knowledge of expert diabetologists.
