Computer Assisted Medical Diagnosis (CAMD) System. Version 1.0. User's Guide
Abstract
The objective of the users' guide is to provide personnel, who may be unfamiliar with personal computer software, the information necessary to effectively use the CAMD system. Additionally, this guide will supply the users with a detailed description, as well as, the basic structure and features of the CAMD system. Medical care on board many small ships and submarines is rendered by specially trained independent duty corpsmen. These vessels often operate in remote areas where these corpsmen cannot easily obtain consultations. Therefore, the Navy Medical Research and Development Command (NMRDC) initiated a program to develop a set of diagnostic algorithms that could be automated. The objectives of this effort are: Provide medical practitioners with accurate medical diagnostic and treatment information. Prevent unnecessary, hazardous, and disruptive medical evacuations by providing diagnostic assistance to independent duty corpsmen. Improve communications between isolated independent duty corpsmen and their supporting medical officers by providing a standardized method for information collection. Gather clinical information in a modifiable diagnostic knowledge base to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
