Web-oriented information system of functional diagnostics

Abstract

In recent years there has been a tendency in the development of preventive medicine. The main feature of the methods of “Western” medicine consists in process of making a diagnosis which requires a long time interval for examining the patient. This fact explains the interest in oriental medicine methods, which are characterized by high efficiency and relatively low time costs in comparison with the methods of “Western” medicine. However, a highly qualified expert is required for the diagnosis, which makes it difficult to apply these methods in practice. The authors studied methods of oriental medicine, proposed a diagnostic technique that partially replaced the expert, developed an information system for the collection and storage of survey data.
