Bayesian-based diagnostic decision-support for pediatrics.
The goal of this project was to develop a Pediatric Decision Support system (PDS) that allows a resident physician to define a patient case based on symptoms (diagnostic signs and test results) and generates a list of possible diagnoses based on the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD10). The intent is to improve the diagnostic approach taken by resident physicians and eventually become a training tool in medical education programs.
