Abstract

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) medical processes can be so complex and unpredictable that physicians sometimes must make decisions based on perception. Both decision support system and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic (IFL) techniques can assist doctors to handle this complexity in a safe, harmless and efficient manner. To this end, we propose a prototype called Medical Intuitionistic Fuzzy Expert Decision Support System (MIFEDSS) based on IFL and the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) standard score. Moreover, the experimental results have been shown the efficiency of the proposed system.
