Audiometric Decision Support System

Audiology is one of a medical field which study of hearing and hearing disorders for individuals who have hearing loss. Clinician as a user has proposed one decision support system named Audiometric System. This audiology service is focusing only on industry that handles a business process with machines. Usually, this kind of industry environment is exposing to the noise which can affect employees' hearing. The objectives of this project are to help clinician reduce time for retrieving appropriate medical history in order to solve hearing problem, to assist clinicians make a correct decision byproviding an accurate result from the manipulation of baseline audiogram and annual audiogram, andto provide a prototype for the audiology service. The problem statements of this project are time-consuming to solve the hearing problem and difficult to provide an accurate result from the baseline audiogram and annual audiogram. The scope of study is mainly covers on the clinician that have responsibility on clinical management. Clinicians such as doctor or nurse use the audiometric system as an audiology service to solve the hearing problem. Methodology used in this project is known as Waterfall model which includes information gathering or analysis phase, design phase, development phase, testing phase and evaluation phase. As a conclusion, a successful implementation of Audiometric System as one of audiology service hopefully is able to help clinicians improve the clinical performance especially in solving the occupational hearing loss of employees. Aprototype of Audiometric System is produced through this project
