Abstract
A system for providing medical decision support for diagnosis and treatment of disease comprises a medical knowledge database comprising medical information, the medical information including probabilities of disease outcomes for a disease of interest, a memory device for storing a program, a processor in communication with the memory device, the processor operative with the program to obtain patient information and in vitro test results for a patient, and automatically generate a recommendation for a medical test based on a combination of the patient information, the in vitro test results, and medical information from the medical knowledge database.
Claims22
A system for providing medical decision support for diagnosis and treatment of disease, comprising:
- a medical knowledge database comprising medical information, the medical information including probabilities of disease outcomes for a disease of interest;
- a memory device for storing a program;
- a processor in communication with the memory device, the processor 1C operative with the program to:
- obtain patient information and in vitro test results for a patient;
- and
- automatically generate a recommendation for a medical test based on a combination of the patient information, the in vitro test results, and medical information from the medical knowledge database.
A computer-implemented method of providing medical decision support for cancer diagnosis and treatment, comprising:
- providing a medical knowledge database comprising medical information, the medical information including probabilities of cancer outcomes;
- obtaining patient information for a patient;
- determining a likelihood of cancer based on the patient information and medical information from the medical knowledge database;
- obtaining in vitro test results for the patient;
- updating the likelihood of cancer based on the in vitro test results and medical information from the medical knowledge database;
- and
- generating a recommendation for a medical test based on a combination of the patient information and the updated likelihood of cancer.
