Drug-recommendation system for patients with infectious diseases.
We developed a decision support system that helps doctors select appropriate first-line drugs. The system classifies patients' abilities to protect themselves from infectious diseases as a risk level for infection. In an evaluation of the prototype system, the risk level it determined correlated with the decisions of specialists. The system is very effective and convenient for doctors to use.
