Abstract
In the paper, the architecture for a mobile medical decision support and its exemplary application to medicines prescribing is presented. The aim of the architecture is to provide the decision algorithms and database support for thin client applications running on low cost palmtop computers. We consider the wide class of medical applications, where decision making is equivalent to typical pattern recognition problem. The decision support consists in ordering the decisions by their degree of belief in the context, in which the decision is being made, and presenting them in such order to the user. The role of the palmtop computer is to organize the dialog with the user, while the role of decision support server consists in decision algorithm executing, and delivering the results to a mobile application. Providing the ordered decision list to the palmtop application not only aids the user in making right decision, but also significantly simplifies the user interaction with the keyboard-less palmtop device. The relation between these two topics is shown and the method of user interface dynamic configuration is proposed.
