YUNDA, Leonardo; PACHECO, David  and  MILLAN, Jorge. A Web-based Fuzzy Inference System Based Tool for Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment. Nova [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.24, pp.7-16. ISSN 1794-2470.

Objective: a Web-based Fuzzy Inference Tool for cardiovascular risk assessment has been developed. The tool makes use of inference rules from evidence-based medicine for membership classification. Methods: the system framework allows adding variables such as gender, age, weight, height, medication intake, and blood pressure, with various types of membership functions based on classification rules. Results: the tool allows health professional to enter patient clinical data and obtain a prediction of cardiovascular risk. The tool can also be later used to predict other types of risks including cognitive and physical disease conditions.

Keywords : Cardiovascular risk assessment; Fuzzy Logic; Evidence Based Medicine.
