The Development of Online Children Skin Diseases Diagnosis System

Abstract

Abstract-Human habits tend to assume that certain skin diseases are not severe problem. If their children skin had been infected by certain skin diseases, most of the parents or guardian will try to treat this infected skin on their own. However, sometimes this treatment was not suitable with that particular skin problem and can make it become worse. This paper proposes a development of an Online Children Skin Diseases Diagnosis System. This system enables user to recognize skin diseases faced by children through online and provide user advises or treatments in shorter time period. To do so, user will answer questions based on their skin condition or symptoms. It will then helps in detecting the skin diseases and provide treatment suggestion. A rule based and forward chaining inference engine has been used for the development of the system. With this system, it help and allows user recognize children skin diseases via online system and provide useful suggestion to user.Index Terms-Children skin diseases, rule based, expert system. I. INTRODUCTIONSkin diseases are diseases that may originate inside the body and manifest on the skin or start from the skin and manifest on the skin [1]. Some common skin diseases are eczema and rash can infected children and adults. For instances, Atopic Eczema can affects 2 in every 10 people in Malaysia and about 10% -14% of children below the age of 14 [2]. Basically, if children skin had been infected by certain skin diseases, most of the parents or guardian will try to treat this infected skin on their own. However, apparently this treatment was not suitable with that particular skin problem and can make it become worse. These cause disruption for children during their daily routine especially for those children that started attending school.Human habit tend to assume that certain skin diseases are not severe problem, and they tend to not seeing the medical expert in helping diagnose skin diseases. One more problem with skin disease is the difficulty in recognizing the main cause. This occurs because the symptoms of different diseases are quite similar with each other. Therefore, the Online Children Skin Diseases Diagnosis System is developed to help parents to recognize the particular children skin diseases which infected their children in short time period. In the development of this system, the concept of expert system is used. This system will provide question list for parents to choose the symptom as answer and these answers will help in generating diagnosis result.In this paper, we place our focus on common children skin diseases. The main objective of this paper is to develop expert system for diagnosing the children skin diseases in near future. There are six types of common diseases have been identified for this research; viral rash, eczema, impetigo, urticaria, chicken pox and fifth disease. As mention before, the mistake in diagnosing this skin disease can lead to more serious infection. Hence, this research is important for user with the purpose to assist them in det...

Review on Automated Skin Cancer Detection Using Image Processing Methods

“…There are three different forms of skin cancer: melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma [5The most frequent skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, is also the least lethal if caught early [6]. Squamous cell carcinoma, the second kind, is the most prevalent type of skin cancer and develops in the cells that make up the top skin layers [7]. Their primary goal has been to offer a thorough analysis [8].…”

A Proposed Model Expert System for Disease Diagnosis in Children to Make Decisions in First Aid

“…Different sources say similar studies [7] - [2] develop expert systems using the forward chaining method and use data derived from expert interviews. The expert system is used for more specific diagnoses of childhood diseases, skin, and mental disorders.…”

Analysis and Identification of Dermatological Diseases Using Gaussian Mixture Modeling

“…Accuracy obtained by these respective algorithms are 95-98% and 85%. In continuation to the above literature, various skin diseases can be detected and classified with various approaches, some of the important ones include: wavelet transformation and fuzzy inference system [26], support vector machine (SVM) [27] with 65.56% accuracy, k-means clustering and fuzzy-c means clustering [28], rule based and forward chaining inference engine [29], case based reasoning [30] achieving accuracies of 70%, 66.6% and 90%, respectively. For human skin color detection various methods have been used which include statistical modeling (GMM) [31]- [33] and genetic algorithm [34].…”
