Anemia Diagnosis by Computer Analysis of Blood Data Produced by Automated Testing Machines.

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to provide a computer program which can be used by both Army and civilian medical personnel as an aid in diagnosing the major anemias. Patient data necessary as input to the program includes red and white cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet count. The program then calculates mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hematocrit, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and classifies these seven values as high, normal, or low for the specific patient's age and sex. The next step in the program is to perform two separate searches for any anemia present and to output the results.
