A fuzzy model of determining severity of respiratory distrees and possibilities of implementation

 

Dragan Z. Šaletić, MSc

 

The paper presents the research results which can be applied in medicine: the fuzzy model of determination of severity of respiratory distress in a patient in an intensive care unit, based on the usage of a kind of fuzzy aggregation operator, the Choquet integral. The determination of the degree of respiratory distress is of extreme clinical relevance. The approach proposed in the paper is the improvement of existing models, due to the fact that the application of fuzzy measures can take into account the interaction between criteria. Possibilities of Web-based model implementation are considered. The results are given and the directions for possible further work are pointed out.

 

Key words: fuzzy model, respiratory disturbance, decision-making, Choquet integral, application, health care, implementation, Web-based system
