A Prototype of Preliminary Symptom Analysis and Follow-Up Systems for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients

Abstract:

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects any part of human systems. SLE most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and nervous system. Each SLE patient has a different set of symptom. Thus, SLE patients must be followed up closely by specialist. The treatments of this disease also base on the occurrence of symptom, doctor will check and consider carefully before taking any action to patient. Therefore, this research aims to develop a preliminary symptoms analysis and follow-up system for SLE patients for updating patient symptom to a doctor. The patient can report symptoms directly to the doctor without any necessity to see the doctor. On the other hand, the doctor can easily search and analyze patient data from the system instantly. Also, we propose a preliminary symptom analysis system in this paper. This system will analyze patient data by using a set of knowledge extracted from the doctor and specialist.
