Abstract:
This paper proposes an algorithm for constructing expert systems (ES) in
comparison with a physician's decision to determine epilepsy in children. The main
characteristics of electroencephalography are defined. A decision tree method (DTM),
which provides a therapeutic and diagnostic process, is proposed. A method of medical
data analysis is proposed, which makes it possible to determine the type of epilepsy in
children. The main provisions of a medical expert system for diagnosing epilepsy, based on
the decision tree method, are developed. The specialist performs a visual analysis of the
EEG and concludes that the EEG is normal. A brief note is given on the analysis of medical
data, which allows to determine the type of epilepsy in children. The aim of this study is to
develop expert systems for the diagnosis of epilepsy, as well as to create new methods
based on the solution tree. The proposed algorithmic and software for determining epilepsy
in children with reliability and efficiency of 92 % determines the type of the disease. In a
study of 370 patients, we received 186 patients (the rest are healthy), in which the
diagnoses coincided with the doctor's diagnoses. The software was created in the Python
language, and a Dataset of patients with their disease parameters was created.
