[I am posting this message on behalf of a friend in the Health Service, who doesn't have access to the Net. I will pass on all replies.] Looking for information on AI/RHEUM, a knowledge-based program for the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. I would appreciate any pointers to location and availability of this software and/or the author(s). Also any comments on experience with using the system would be welcome. Many thanks in anticipation. ----- Regards, Clive Carter (crc@stl.stc.co.uk (+44) 279 429531 ext3646)

Don is now head of the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland. If you write to him there, I'm sure he can give you any pointers you need.

In early 80's K.P Adlassnig developed a CADIAG-2/RHEUMA using fuzzy logic. Authors claim there is 94.5% success rate with their system in diagnosing Rheumatoid, gout, Bechterew's, Sjogren's disease, systemic lupus erythematous, Rieter's disease etc., The above is from reference "Fuzzy set theory in medical diagnosis", KPA, IEEE Tr. Systems, man and Cybernetics, Vol 16/2 Mar/April 1986. Recently John Yen (while he was at Univ. of California, Berkeley) built a system with CADIAG-2's data and it is called GERTIS (based on Evidential reasoning). JY claims (I not sure where I read) it became a commercial product. JY is now with Texas A&M Univ., College Station, TX 77843. -------- Sayyad
