PHEWnA: An expert system framework for children health care and awareness

This paper presents the work of developing a framework for expert systems of health self-assessment and education targeting children. The framework is called the Personal Health Early Warning and Awareness (PHEWnA). The concept of operation of PHEWnA is that it acts as a common ground for interaction between three parties: software developers, physicians and users. A set of health-related expert systems can be developed and run under that framework. An expert system under that framework, which is a diabetes self-assessment system, is reported. The set of rules of this system is presented. The diabetes self-assessment system is introduced in the forms of web and mobile applications.
