Abstract

This research investigated whether a fuzzy logic rule-based decision support system could be used to detect potentially abnormal health conditions, by processing physiological data collected from vital signs monitoring devices. An application of the system to predict postural status of a person was demonstrated using real data, to mimic the effects of body position changes while doing certain normal daily activities. The results gathered in this experiment achieved accuracies of >85%. Applying this type of fuzzy logic approach, a decision system could be constructed to inform necessary actions by caregivers or for a person themself to make simple care decisions to manage their health situation. .
