Dear Student, you may have heard
about MYCIN program…MYCIN was developed at Stanford to aid physicians in diagnosing
and treating patients with a particular blood disease. Have you ever imagined
how such programs are developed?
In this assignment, you are required
to code in CLIPS…a small program that shall work like computerized medical
consultant. Your program will collect some data from the patient and then diagnose
his/her problem and suggest some treatment. As there exist lots of different
cases in patient diagnoses and its are very difficult to capture/cover all of
them in this assignment therefore, we have limited and restricted our
requirement to have s simple design, good enough to give you the basic idea.
You need to follow the stated conditions in true spirit.
Your program shall talk to the
patient in the following manner:
The first message shall appear on
screen as below after the program is executed with (run) command.
Welcome, I am your computerized
medical consultant…
Please enter your VU ID:
User shall type his/her ID which
will be recorded as facts in the system. Then program shall ask…
Do you feel headache (yes or no):
User shall enter his response as
yes/no which will be recorded as facts in the system for later use. The program
shall ask patient…
Enter your body temperature:
User shall enter his/her body
temperature (numeric value) which will be recorded as facts in the system for
later use. If patient temperature is >= 100 then the program shall ask
patient…if he/she feeling body pain. In other words, program shall only ask for
body pain if patient temperature is >=100 and in case his/her body
temperature is < 100 then this question shall not be asked.
Based on above collected
information, program shall now diagnose patient disease and suggest him/her
some treatment. It can easily be observed that we can have total 6 different
cases in the given scenario. Diagnoses and treatment for each case is given
below:
|
Case No.

asked in this case)

quite fine.
|

|
Not applicable (this will not be
asked in this case)
|
Display message: Don’t worry, you
have minor headache.
|
Display message: Take 2 tablets of
Disprin and have some rest.
|
|
Assert diagnosis fact
“minorheadache”
|
Assert treatment fact “disprin”

|
no
|
Display message: You have Fever.
|

Ponstan and have some rest.
|
|

|
Assert treatment fact “posntan”

Fever.
|
Display message: Take 1 tablet of
Panadol and have some rest.
|
|

yes
|
>= 100
|
yes
|
Display message: Sorry, your case
is beyond my current knowledge…
|
Display message: You really need
to visit/consult some Human doctor.
|
|
Assert diagnosis fact “unknown”
|
Assert treatment fact
“consultdoctor”
|
Note: You need to have separate
rules for diagnosis and treatment…
- For diagnosis total 6 rules will be required (one for every case)…each rule will assert a corresponding diagnosis fact after matching the respective symptoms.
- For treatment total 5 rules will be required…as its matching will be performed on the basis of diagnosis fact value and we have 5 distinct values for diagnosis fact (Both in Case-1 and Case-5, diagnosis fact has same value i.e. bedrest)
Sample
working of the desired program for all six cases is shown in attached video
file “Sample.mp4”.
Submission
You are required to submit your
solution through LMS in zip format containing two files.
- Your CLIPS program i.e. .clp file.
- An MS Word document containing screenshot of your program output/execution for any two cases (you shall type your own VU_ID) while entering student id and that must be visible in the screenshot.
