Expert systems in psychiatry. A review

R A Morelli et al. J Med Syst. 1987 Jun.

Abstract

Existing computer-based decision aids in the areas of psychiatric diagnosis and consultation are reviewed, and the prospects for expert system development within the mental health field are discussed. Emphasis is placed upon the decision-making models used in these systems rather than on their particular application area. The decision-making paradigms discussed are (1) data bank analysis, (2) statistical pattern recognition, (3) Bayesian analysis, (4) logical flow chart method, and (5) knowledge-based (expert system) approaches. For each paradigm, its essential features, its strengths and weaknesses, and some example applications are presented.
