Frequency Decision Theoretical Approach to Automated Medical Diagnosis
Abstract
The recent availability of relatively large memory capabilities associated with high speed computers has given hope to the possibility of combating some of the obvious deleterious results of disparate growth rates of medical knowledge, numbers of physicians, and numbers of patients. The purpose of this investigation is to establish a method for arriving at a preliminary medical diagnosis by the use of computer techniques before the patient is seen by the physician. It appears, however, that the serendipitous result of discovering more insight into the diagnostic process may be of greater medical significance than the proposed reason for the study.
