The purpose of the study was to develop an internet nutritional counseling program using an expert system to assist obese people to lose weight through behavior modification. The internet counseling program for weight loss was developed by the accumulation of knowledge dealing with eating habits and exercising behaviors in expert system tool, Knowledge Engineering Agent (KEA) by a dietitian without any help of computer expert. To accumulate knowledge into KEA, survey was performed in 150 obese people, dietitians reviewed and consulted each survey case, and the consulted contents were learned and accumulated into KEA. Survey questionnaire was the same as that of the internet consulting program, and it included general characteristics, dietary habits, lifestyle, and exercise patterns related to obesity. Also, the dietitian selected proper factors inferred from the survey questionnaire of each case, and added the conclusions for them. Conclusions were made for helping clients to correct bad eating behaviors and accumulate good behaviors to lose weight. Counseling was divided into two parts; a two-week part and a daily part.

본 연구에서는 인터넷상에서 일반 대중들이 행동 수정 방법을 통해 올바른 식습관을 비롯한 생활 습관을 가짐으로 체중 감량을 통해 정상적인 체중을 장기간 유지할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 전문가 시스템 툴인 KEA를 사용하여 실시간 상담을 해줄 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 전문가 시스템인 KEA는 MCRDR 이론을 사용하여 특정 분야의 전문가가 전문가 시스템에 관한 전문지식 없이도 시스템을 직접 구축 운용할 수 있는 환경을 구축하여 지식의 전문가가 직접 지식데이터 베이스를 구축하고 유지.보수하여 저렴한 비용으로 장기간 운영이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 처음에 KEA로 상담할 수 있도록 지식을 학습시키기 위하여 체중 감량에 관련된 설문지를 작성하여 과체중 또는 비만한 사람 150명을 대상으로 설문을 받아 전문 영양사가 이에 대한 상담을 하고 이것을 KEA에 학습시켰다. 설문지는 인터넷 상담 프로그램과 같은 설문지를 사용하여 각 대상으 비만의 원인, 식습관, 생활습관, 운동 습관을 조사하였다. 체중 감량 상담은 행동 수정 이론을 적용하여 내담자가 스스로 잘못된 식습관 및 생활습관을 수정함으로써 점차 체중을 감량하여 평생 적절한 체중을 유지할 수 있는 방법을 터득할 수 있도록 상담하는 것을 원칙으로 하였다. 지식을 KEA에 학습시키는 방법은 조사한 설문을 바탕으로 case에서 적절한 항목값으로 추출하고 KEA에 지식을 만들기 위한 조건으로 추가한 후 이러한 조건에 맞는 상담 결론을 선택하고 추가하는 방식으로 KEA에 학습시켰다. 이 프로그램은 인터넷을 통해 일반인이 사용할 수 있도록 인터페이스를 만들었고 사용자가 프로그램에 들어가서 실시간으로 전문가의 상담을 받을 수 있다. 사용자가 인터넷 체중감량 상담 프로그램을 사용하기 위하여 화면에 있는 설문에 답을 기입하면 이미 축적된 KEA의 지식으로 실시간으로 상담의 결론을 내려주었다. 만약 사용자의 상황이 KEA에 축적되어 있는 지식으로 결론을 내릴 수 없으면 '결론없음'이라는 말이 뜨게 되고 이때는 전문가각 직접 이 상담 case를 분석하여 KEA에 지식을 축적시켜 점차 KEA의 지식을 확충시켰다. 결론적으로 전문가 시스템인 KEA를 이용하여 체중 감량의 원칙을 행동 수정 방법에 따라서 사용자의 개인에 맞는 방법을 체중 감량을 할 수 있도록 전문가가 일대일로 실시간으로 상담할 수 있도록 하여 건강하게 체중 감량을 할 수 있도록 하였다.
