The Case-Based Neural Network Model and its use in medical expert systems

A theoretical model called the Case-Based Neural Network Model is introduced that captures selected patient cases into a data structure which incorporates the fundamental components of expert systems, This data structure is made up of a discrete pattern associative neural network of Frames. The Case Based Neural Network Model is implemented as a computer system called MED2000. This system generates appropriate questions and suggestions based on a notion of diagnosis developed by its neural network and knowledge base. When tested by medical experts, the system was found to be accurate and reproducible.
