Case-based diabetic dietary plan using memory organization packets

Planning suitable menus for individuals who have health problems is a complex task since the solutions produced by professionals (dietitians) are usually very subjective and difficult to be systematically represented. This research focused on designing the knowledge base repository construction which consists of the existing cases to be used as the case-based for the retrieval process. The main aim of this research is, to design dietary knowledge representation base on set of rules, knowledge and experience adhered by human experts. Memory Organization Packet or MOP is proposed to be used along with the Similarity Measure for the matching process of pass cases from the case-based with the new cases. This research used actual data and cases which were obtained from Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) and subsequently evaluated to determine its effectiveness.
