Abstract
A system for computer-aided guided interactive diagnosis is presented. It is based on dynamic taxonomies, a knowledge management model that allows the guided interactive exploration of complex information bases. Clinical diagnosis is performed by exploring and thinning out candidate pathologies on the basis of clinical signs and other observable features in a guided yet practitioner-centered way. Early experience with this approach is discussed in terms of opportunities for a global approach to diagnosis and treatment.
