The Medical Knowledge Base, mapped from the Open Biomedical Ontologies, OBO, forms the basis to develop Medical Knowledge Applications that relate user defined medical attributes to web based medical documentation and knowledge on diseases and medications. Preliminary research has defined the following web based Medical Knowledge Applications.
Free text input describing primary and secondary symptoms are matched against web based medical documentation and literature to identify the most frequently referenced diseases related to the symptoms.
Free text input describing primary and secondary diagnostic test results are matched against web based medical documentation and literature to identify the most frequently referenced diseases related to the test results.
Genes and genetic markers related in web based medical documentation and literatures are identified.
The latest information and knowledge on diseases, disorders, medical conditions, and disorders may be tracked on a regular basis. This includes tracking of outbreaks of infectious diseases.
Free text clinical questions are matched against the most relevant clinical knowledge and documentation that give insights into patient care and clinical research
