Abstract

Managing diabetes using intelligent techniques is a recent priority for healthcare information systems and the medical domain. Diabetes is one of the most widespread diseases around the world including Australia. Numerous intelligent systems supporting diabetes management (DM) have been widely deployed, yet how to effectively develop a DM system integrating intelligent techniques remains a big issue. Case-based reasoning (CBR), as an intelligent technique, has been applied in various fields including customer services, medical diagnosis, and clinical treatment. This paper proposes a case-based lifecycle for DM consisting of case-based symptoms, case-based diagnosis, case-based prognosis, case-based treatment, and case-based care. The lifecycle is integrated with a web-based system in which CBR functions as an intelligent intermediary. The approach proposed in this research might facilitate research and development of diabetes management, healthcare information systems and intelligent systems.
