Towards a Comprehensive Expert System for Coronavirus Disease

Goita, Y.; Sidibe, M.; Ieee,

Today, the world is facing an unprecedented health crisis due to the pandemic of the coronavirus. Although enormous efforts are being made by all continents to find the appropriate solution, the situation remains worrying. This fact is justified on one hand by the millions of cases with the number of deaths exceeding one and half million on a global scale, and on other hand by the successive waves of lockdown in almost all countries. This situation was exacerbated December 2020 with the arrival in England of a new strain of the more transmissible coronavirus. This great challenge facing all the world's health systems requires actors in the medical domain (health agencies, researchers, and pharmaceutical laboratories, the World Health Organization) to draw and gather knowledge to identify the path for effective treatment. The objective of this work is to provide an operational expert system aimed at helping decision-makers, health workers, and hospital nursing staff in their task of analysis, diagnosis and care of Covid-19 patients. The tool may be extended to other respiratory illnesses.
