Virtual Doctor System (VDS): Medical Decision Reasoning Based on Physical and Mental Ontologies

  • Conference paper
Trends in Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA/AIE 2010)

Abstract

Human computer Interaction based on emotional modelling and physical views, collectively; has been investigated and reported in this paper. Two types of ontology have been presented to formalize a patient state: mental ontology reflecting the patient mental behavior due to certain disorder and physical ontology reflecting the observed physical collected exhibited consequences of such disorder. These two types of ontology have been mapped and aligned using OWL-S and SWRL for reasoning purposes. We have constructed an integrated computerized model which reflects a human diagnostician as computer model and through it, an integrated interaction between that model and the real human user (patient) is utilized for 1st stage diagnosis purposes. The diagnostician knowledge has been utilized through UMLS for testing, and the integrated mapping of the two views been represented through OWL-S framework. The reasoning instantiation is done using SWRL and RACER integrated on Protégé 4.

This research is supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan under the Strategic Information and Communications R&D Promotion Programme (SCOPE).
