Supporting decisions in diabetic patients management through case-based retrieval
In this paper we present a tool for the intelligent retrieval of past cases to support Insulin Dependent
Diabetes Mellitus patients therapy revision. This tool was designed for assisting physicians during periodical
monitoring visits. Each case is represented through i) a collection of features that describe the patient\u2019s clinical
state at the decision time, i.e. the control visit, ii) the decision taken in terms of therapy revision and iii) the
outcome obtained on the metabolic control during the following monitoring period. A new case is first classified
into a protypical monitoring situation, and then similar cases are retrieved and shown to the user. This tool is
fully integrated in a Web-based distributed system for Diabetes Management, developed within in the EU
project T-IDDM
