Abstract

We present a patient-oriented computer-based medical system which proposes advices on mild clinical signs treatment and medication. Therefore, this system can be considered a self-medication assistant tool. In a nutshell, this web application validates drug consumptions of a given patient, based on patient information stored in an electronic health care record, with a drug and symptom knowledge base. The efficiency and accuracy of the knowledge base inferences depend on the quality, quantity and recency of the drug instances. A practical source for these information are databases. Thus we developed a data integration solution which enables the mapping of relational databases to a Description Logics knowledge base.
