Abstract
The main aim of the SPHINX project was to provide clinicians with an information system aid to diagnostic, therapeutic or preventive decision-making, with four basic objectives:
-
1.
The knowledge should lead the system to give advice comparable to that of an expert.
-
2.
Dialogue with the machine should be conducted in a language as clear and as close as possible to natural language to avoid the necessity for the user to learn a particular language or code.
-
3.
The system should potentially be able to explain its decisions by providing the elements on which it bases its reasoning.
-
4.
In order to improve its advice, to adapt to change in medical data, and to increase its applications, the system should be equipped with a data acquisition module easy for a layman to use.
