Shahrom11Department	of	Electrical	and	Electronic	Engineering,	Faculty	of	Engineering,	UNIMAS,	94300	Kota	Samarahan,	Sarawak,	Malaysia.2Department	of	Medicine,	Faculty	of	Medicine	and	Health	Sciences,	UNIMAS,	94300	Kota	Samarahan,	Sarawak,	Malaysia.E-mail:wmmasnia@unimas.myReceived: 7 February 2017Accepted: 9 October 2017ABSTRACTThis	paper	presents	the	development	of	a	Graphical	User	Interface	(GUI)	for	calculating	the	sum	of	nail-fold	(NF)	and	distal	interphalangeal	joint	(DIP)	ratios	for	all	ten	fingers.	The	sum	of	NF:DIP	ratios	for	all	ten	fingers	leads	to	the	Digital	Index	(DI)	that	was	used	as	the	measure	for	identifying	and	determining	the	presence	of	finger	clubbing	symptom.	This	GUI	system	was	developed	to	serve	as	a	simple	and	user-friendly	interface	for	clinicians	to	calculate	DI	value	of	patients	in	a	busy	clinic	practice.	It	is	also	equipped	with	the	capability	to	keep	the	patient’s	past	diagnosis	medical	check-up	data	for	future	monitoring	purposes.	The	result	shows	that	the	developed	system	helps	the	clinicians	to	perform	calculation	of	DI	value	and	identify	the	presence	of	finger	clubbing	in	a	very	short	time.	The	average	time	taken	to	measure	both	NF	and	DIP	circumferences	using	Finger	Clubbing	Meter,	and	to	compute	DI	values	using	Digital	Index	Evaluation	System	(DIES)	interface	is	6:36	±	1:24	minutes	(Mean	±	SD)	.This	system	is	expected	to	contribute	in	detecting	the	finger	clubbing	problem	at	early	stage	of	so	the	treatment	can	be	performed	immediately.Keywords:	finger	clubbing,	digital	index,	nail-fold,	distal	interphalangeal	joint,	graphical	user	interface
