Abstract
Being recently increased interests of our healthcare, a host of symptoms-diagnostic sites has been introduced on the World Wide Web. But conventional healthcare sites provide users with only a very restricted functions. In this paper, we propose the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as a flexible symptoms-diagnostic tool that enables learning effects of ANNs (not expert's knowledge) to be incorporated into the diagnostic process. We develop a novel algorithm for predicting patient\`s disease that satisfy user (or expert)-specified symptoms on WWW. Our algorithm provides two important benefits : 1) enables users (patients) to be taken early diagnostic, and 2) enables experts to perform confidently diagnostic by referencing the predicted diseases-list with its respective possibility.
