ABSTRACT

Diagnosis system deals with the registration of patient information, doctors information aand
report, collection of diseases and infected syndrome, and diagnosis of these
diseases.Computerized system poses high speed of processing precision, storage, its versatility
and high retrieval system makes possible the completion of tasks that could never been achieved
with manual system because of the difficulty of completing them on time for the results to be
useful.
This paper discusses the design and implementation of a diagnosis systemsystem database
application with WAMP SERVER database. It also discusses the issues of selecting appropriate
database model, interface design, and system deployment. A projection of record growth in
relation to student population and system requirement was carried out in the study. Finally it
discusses the applicability of the system in academic institutions. The Programming language
used in developing this application is Visual Basic.net 2012. It runs in Windows 98 to Latest
windows 8. Also Crystal report must be installed to view the report of the patient diagnosis
information.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION:
This chapter gives an overview about the aim, objectives, background and operation environment
of the system.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Health care facility should be accessible by all at all times. But some of the people that should
access these facilities are far removed from these facilities. More so, in the few available
facilities, qualified medical personnel are always key issues that need urgent redress.
In view of the foregoing, it would be of great necessity to provide a computerized system that
will provide a complementary medical service, such as medical disease diagnosis in places where
accessibility is a problem as well as health care facilities where qualified experts are lacking,
hence this topic, Expert System or electronic diagnosis system on some medical illness and
disease.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
Disease diagnosis and treatment constitute the major work of physicians. Some of the time,
diagnosis is wrongly done leading to error in drug prescription and further complications in the
patients health. It has also been noticed that much time is spent in physical examination and
interview of patients before treatment commences. The clinical decision support system (CDSS)
shall address these problems by effectively providing quality diagnosis in real-time

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The major objective of this work is to develop an expert system on diagnosis of non-
communicable diseases.
It also targets towards contributing to academic research work.
To develop modern interactive diagnostic software that will aid clinicians in diagnostic
procedures.
To offer prescription of medication.
To enable flexibility in access to information through the World Wide Web or comprehensive
knowledge bases.
It is also to ascertain whether the diseases could be diagnosed based on signs and symptoms.
It will also examine a patient based on simple clinical signs, and to improve family and
community health

1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

If this prototype is fully developed will be very useful in many areas such as:
a. It will help to retain the skill of an expert medical doctor in case of any eventuality;
b. It can support academic development;
c. It can be useful in many hospitals, both private and government, cases where the expert is
not on seat;
d. It can also be used in the laboratory for quick research work.

1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

1. Unavailability of academic materials.

2. Transport problem

3. Lack of financial support

 4. Lack of Time

5. Unavailability of programming software such as Visual Basic.Net.

1.9 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this work will include the following
1. A dynamic database system that can act as knowledge based system
2. A complete model of an expert system to portray sample troubleshooter
3. Explore the power of visual basic in data handling
4. To implement a dynamic search system

1.8 ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY

During the process of data collection, information relating to Electronic diagnosisSystem was
obtained from the internet and the library. Hence, it is assumed that all the data collected are
correct and contains no false information.
