Abstract

This article presents a framework that allows the automated gathering of medical evidence, using a methodology based on Bayesian networks (BN). For such purpose, system software and a programming methodology were developed. The proposed methodology is generic and can be applied to different contexts (application domains) were evidence gathering is executed in mobile devices.
