Expert System For Diagnosing Diseases in Toddlers Using The Certainty Factor Method

Abstract

Disease is an abnormal condition in the body that causes body misalignment. There are various types of diseases that threaten humans, both parents and children. This disease can be caused by germs, bacteria, viruses, toxins, organ failure to function, and also by inherited/hereditary diseases. The difficulty of parents to find out the disease suffered by their children is one of the problems of parents today. So, we need a system to help with this predicament. The purpose of making this application is to provide information quickly and accurately in solving problems to help consult about diseases in toddlers aged 0-5 years. In addition, to find out ways to make programs that are expert systems using programming languages for artificial intelligence applications, namely PHP and Mysql, the certainty factor method is applied in web form. Using the certainty factor method is a decision-making strategy that starts from the section premise to conclusion. The result of system implementation is that the user chooses from the symptoms that already exist in the system based on the existing symptoms then processed, from the process the system provides information on diseases in children suffered by toddlers. From the results of testing this expert system has been able to diagnose diseases in children. After the diagnosis, the types of diseases and solutions will appear. Diagnosing disease in children by using this certainty factor is expected to make it easier to diagnose disease in children
