Abstract

A theoretical model called the Case-Based Neural Network Model is introduced that captures selected patient cases into a data structure which incorporates the fundamental components of expert systems. This data structure is made up of a discrete pattern associative neural network of frames. The Case-Based Neural Network Model is implemented as a computer system called MED2000. This system generates appropriate questions and suggestions based on a notion of diagnosis developed by its neural network and knowledge base. When tested by medical experts, the system was found to be accurate and reproducible.
