Decision Support System for Diagnose Hepatitis Type using Expert System Method

Abstract

In the medical world, there are five types of Hepatitis, namely Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. However, the five types of hepatitis have similar symptoms, including yellowing of the skin color, yellowing of the eyeball, loss of appetite, etc. Thus, many of the Medical Personnel often misdiagnose the patient for the type of hepatitis or not suffer from hepatitis. Therefore, previous diagnostic data ware collected from Medical Specialists which will be processed and developed into the Java-based Decision Support System Application with Expert System method with the percentage output of the likelihood of patients from each type of hepatitis along with the possibility of patients not suffering from hepatitis. With the output of this application, the percentage of the possibility of each type of hepatitis or the possibility of not suffering from hepatitis can help Medical Personnel to make diagnostic decisions based on alternatives provided by the application.
