The expert system VALAB: a knowledge-based intelligent system for the medical industry

摘要

As illustrated by the two studies mentioned earlier, the system VALAB provides an efficient and sound service to many teams of professionals. Furthermore, it is worth noting that these medical professionals, in general, have only basic computing literacy. VALAB is therefore a successful application of artificial intelligence techniques to the needs of biological laboratories. The system is currently installed on more than a hundred laboratories across Europe and the rest of the world. However, VALAB is still evolving, as upgrades are regularly implemented. Current trends of developments of the system's functionality include making the system's always more user-friendly, and increasing the amount of customisable features, so that VALAB can fit as closely as possible to the needs of each individual laboratory.
