Dear friend,

Greetings.

You can develop a CAse Based Reasoning system based on the clinical records of teh patients.

First, you need to structure them and then store in a database for using query based search.

Second, Decide the type of statistical method you need to use for the comparison of the cases in the database.

third, Develop a GUI for the same and connect it to the database. The GUI should have all the fields that are required as input.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards

If you do not want to implement a CBR system from the scratch you might consider the use of a development platforms such as jColibri (http://gaia.fdi.ucm.es/research/colibri/jcolibri) or MyCbr (http://www.mycbr-project.net).

From the diagnosing , perhaps you may need to transform your Health Records to a computer interpretable format. You might consider an automatic/manual markup parsi ng process (using ICD, Snomed, etc.).

Thank you for the answer. Can we use Bayesian networks in place of CBR?

Hi Sumathi,

There are many researches about medical diagnosis using different techniques as CBR and BN.

what is the guideline on what type of case representation can be used for such domain? which representation approach is best for which domain? 

@Jose M. Juarez  :

1 /  I am using Eclipse Indigo to fetch Colibri studio. Unfortunately, I cannot

access this link (*http://colibricbrstudio.net/update)* from Eclipse's

'Install New Software' menu anymore. Am I missing something?

2 / Also i try to Install a preconfigured package that includes Eclipse+COLIBRIStudio+jCOLIBRI but i have a message : colibristudio.exe is not a valid application Win32

Help please.

Hi El,

I used jCOLIBRI2.1 (http://gaia.fdi.ucm.es/research/colibri/projectscolibristudiodownload) with Eclipse.

To more information, look my research: Early Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Cancer by Using Case-Based and Rule-Based Reasoning (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303298927_Early_Diagnosis_of_Gastrointestinal_Cancer_by_Using_Case-Based_and_Rule-Based_Reasoning)

Thank you Renata for your answer.

COLIBRI is obsolete ?, there is no update of this plugin in eclipse ?

I try to use JCOLIBRI, I return to you in case of problem.

Thank you again.

El,

Well..when I used the tool in my research, 2011-2012, only jColibri and myCBR were free. See pages 65-66 of this research (http://siaibib01.univali.br/pdf/Helton%20Machado%20Kraus%20dissertacao.pdf). It's in portuguese, ok? The author shows a comparative between some CBR tools.

I used jColibri because of the tutorial (http://gaia.fdi.ucm.es/research/colibri/colibristudio/documentation). Apparently, the Gaia group has not made any more updates since 2008.

I hope you can use it.

The myCBR is free and still live to be used for the development of a CBR system.

Link: https://github.com/ntnu-ai-lab/mycbr-rest

It has below listed modules:

1. myCBR REST API

2. myCBR SDK

3. myCBR Workbench

This tool provides faster development and prototyping.

One can contact me for any further help on this tool.
