Abstract: The healthcare industry generates enormous amounts of data. Therefore, Information Technology (IT) has increasingly been used to capture and transfer this data as well as facilitate medical decision making. The healthcare industry is growing fast by using IT to computerize various processes such as transactions, inventory keeping, and record maintenance, consequently reducing mundane and repetitive processes. The use of systems-engineering tools has led to innovation in healthcare, including the use of rule-based systems to diagnose diseases. These information technology based tools have been used in a wide variety of applications to achieve major improvements in the quality, efficiency, safety or customer-centeredness of processes, products, and services. In this study, we have designed and developed a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) to help patients get initial advice on possible therapies based on disease selected. This could be used as a disease prevention tool as well.
