Thalassaemia detection using CBR Algorithm via mobile device by Nur Faezah, Omar

“…This thesis proposes a Case-Based Reasoning model for medical diagnosis,particularly for Thalassaemia diagnosis. CBR Algorithm is an algorithm that can solve a new problem by remembering a previous similar situation and by reusing information and knowledge of that situation in a new situation.CBR is suit for solving the problem in Thalassaemia cases.The model is designed and prototype is developed to test the diagnosis accuracy of the model.T his application is focus on Beta Thalassaemia and Haemoglobin E Trait only.For platform, this application will be using the mobile device such as PDA. …”
