A Proposed Model Expert System for Disease Diagnosis in Children to Make Decisions in First Aid

Children have a weaker immune system than adults. They are susceptible to disease. Therefore, this study proposes an expert system model of disease diagnosis in children. We develop expert strategies to meet the needs of alternative diagnostic tools in making decisions and first aid for children suffering from illness. The development of an expert system model for diagnosing children's diseases using forwarding chaining based on If-Then as an inference engine. We chose the forward chaining method because it has a framework for thinking like a doctor's when diagnosing and concluding the disease. We made testing to model by doctors with 35 patients. The test results show that the expert systems model of disease diagnosis in children in this research has to be used as an alternative or comparison diagnostic tool with an accuracy rate of 79%.
