ORAL USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND SIMPLE MATHEMATICS TO ANALYZE A PHYSIOLOGICAL MODEL JOHN C. KUNZ, STANFORD/INTELLIGENETICS 23 FEBRUARY 1984 MARGARET JACKS HALL, RM. 146, 2:30-3:30 PM The objective of this research is to demonstrate a methodology for design and use of a physiological model in a computer program that suggests medical decisions. This methodology uses a physiological model based on first principles and facts of physiology and anatomy. The model includes inference rules for analysis of causal relations between physiological events. The model is used to analyze physiological behavior, identify the effects of abnormalities, identify appropriate therapies, and predict the results of therapy. This methodology integrates heuristic knowledge traditionally used in artificial intelligence programs with mathematical knowledge traditionally used in mathematical modeling programs. A vocabulary for representing a physiological model is proposed.
