This book is focused on the use of intelligent techniques, such as fuzzy
logic, neural networks and bio-inspired algorithms, and their
application in medical diagnosis. The main idea is that the proposed
method may be able to adapt to medical diagnosis problems in different
possible areas of the medicine and help to have an improvement in
diagnosis accuracy considering a clinical monitoring of 24 hours or more
of the patient.
In this book, tests were made with different architectures proposed in
the different modules of the proposed model. First, it was possible to
obtain the architecture of the fuzzy classifiers for the level of blood
pressure and for the pressure load, and these were optimized with the
different bio-inspired algorithms (Genetic Algorithm and Chicken Swarm
Optimization). Secondly, we tested with a local database of 300 patients
and good results were obtained.
It is worth mentioning that this book is an important part of the
proposed general model; for this reason, we consider that these modules
have a good performance in a particular way, but it is advisable to
perform more tests once the general model is completed.
