A Development of Early Diagnosis and Hospital Search Support System for Integrate Medical Support System

摘要

Recently, public interest in health is growing. In addition, the rapid development of information technology gives us much medical information, that places increased demands on the medical support systems using the information. The aim of this study is to develop a medical support system by using Hierarchical Keyword Graph (HK Graph). This system infers and shows the candidates of the name of disease with the graph structure of related symptoms after a user inputs his/her symptoms. Then it shows appropriate hospitals considering the disease, specialty of each hospital, the location of user and so on. This paper proposes interactive disease search support system using HK Graph which can visualize the relationship among words with network structure based on the co-occurrence information.
