ABSTRACT

A decision support system (DSS) was developed to support doctor's decision-making in diagnosing hearing loss. The final diagnosis encompassed 41 diseases with the problem of hearing loss. The system was developed by integrating model-oriented DSS technique and artificial intelligence technology. The system can be used as both diagnosis tool and teaching tool for medical students. Furthermore, the Al technology obtained from this study may also be used in developing DSS for hospital management.
