A dempster-shafer approach to an expert system design in diagnosis of febrile disease

Abstract

In the past few decades, the use of expert system in information systems has become popular in many fields, such as in the health to diagnose some disease. Fever is a disease that is often considered common by the community as evidenced by data from a study where it was found that typhoid fever infected 800 to 100 thousand Indonesians citizen during 2008, while data collected by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2013, there have been 112,511 dengue cases Fever in 34 provinces in Indonesia and there were 871 people who died In order to help this cohort make decisions, our study proposed a design an expert system application to help rapid diagnose a disease with symptoms of fever by considering three kind of diseases: Typhoid Fever, Dengue Fever, and Measles. In this study, the system model gained from the Demspter Shafer method is shown in the implementation by using an example with mobile application.
