Abstract
Abstract An expert system which provides one or more suggested treatments for a patient with physical trauma is disclosed. The system includes a computing device having a memory, a plurality of data bases in the memory, an application program and an inference engine program. The data bases include graphical illustrations of different types of physical trauma, and a knowledge base which contains treatment information. The application program is executed in the computing device and interactively displays a series of screens including at least some of the graphical illustrations, to elicit responses from the user concerning the specific type of physical trauma and specific characteristics of the patient. The inference engine program, which is also executed in the computing device, uses the knowledge base and information related to the responses elicited from the user, for selecting one or more suggested treatments. The application program presents the suggested treatments to the user after execution of the inference engine program.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
An expert system for providing to a user one or more suggested treatments for a patient with physical trauma, comprising: a computing device having a memory; a plurality of data bases in the memory including graphical illustrations of different types of physical trauma and a knowledge base having treatment information; an application program, for execution in the computing device, for interactively displaying a series of screens including at least some of the graphical illustrations, to thereby elicit responses from the user concerning the specific type of physical trauma and specific characteristics of the patient; and an inference engine program, for execution in the computing device, for use with the knowledge base and information related to the responses elicited from the user, for selecting the one or more suggested treatments; the application program presenting the suggested treatments to the user after completion of the execution of the inference program.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
An expert system for providing to a user one or more suggested treatments for a patient with physical trauma, comprising: a computing device having a memory; a plurality of data bases in the memory including graphical illustrations of different types of physical trauma and a knowledge base having treatment information; an application program, for execution in the computing device, for interactively displaying a series of screens including at least some of the graphical illustrations, to thereby elicit responses from the user concerning the specific type of physical trauma and specific characteristics of the patient; and an inference engine program, for execution in the computing device, for use with the knowledge base and information related to the responses elicited from the user, for selecting the one or more suggested treatments; the application program presenting the suggested treatments to the user after completion of the execution of the inference program.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
152 words
An expert system for providing to a user one or more suggested treatments for a patient with an orthopedic fracture, comprising: a computing device having a memory; a plurality of data bases in the memory, including graphical illustrations of different classifications of orthopedic fractures and a knowledge base having treatment information; an application program, for execution by the computing device, for interactively displaying a series of screens on a display, including at least some of the graphical illustrations, to thereby elicit responses from the user concerning the specific classification of orthopaedic fracture, and specific characteristics of the patient; and an inference engine program, for execution in the computing device, for use with the knowledge base and information related to the responses elicited from the user, for selecting the one or more suggested treatments; the application program presenting the suggested treatments to the user after completion of the execution of the inference program.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
