This study addressed the challenge of accurate and timely diagnosis of respiratory diseases such as influenza, asthma, and pneumonia by developing and evaluating a web-based expert system. The objective was to develop and assess both the usability and diagnostic efficiency of a web based expert system adaptable to mobile devices. A combined methodological approach was used, using the rapid application development (RAD) model to build the system and the user usability system (SUS) to evaluate the usability with the participation of 15 users and 21 simulated cases with a confusion matrix to determine the precision, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the system in diagnosing respiratory diseases. The results showed that the expert system has a considerable capacity to identify and differentiate these diseases, with a precision of 86%, an accuracy of 76%, a sensitivity of 80%, and a s...

Los contextos pudieran ser integrados por una serie de algoritmos, en la vida cotidiana se utilizan algoritmos para con el fin de solucionar problemas los problemas usuales. En ese sentido, es conveniente llevar a cabo una serie de pasos sistemáticos a fin de dar con una solución. Por ello, que la matemática forma parte de en la solución de un problema. Debido a que allí se plantean algoritmos y/o pasos lógicos. Es importante destacar, que la matemática, mediante los algoritmos, se inserta en las acciones del tipo científico, tecnológico y en la toma de decisiones. Asimismo, las investigaciones previas recomiendan la consolidación de algoritmos con el fin de emplearlos de una manera lógica en las actividades que realiza el hombre de hoy en la vida cotidiana. Por ello, el uso del mismo favorece el resultado óptimo de un determinado problema en cualquier contexto. Todo lo antes...

Infectious diseases such as COVID-19, dengue, diphtheria, etc., are spreading throughout the world, just like in Peru. Some of the symptoms of these diseases are similar. Rapid diagnosis is not available in this case, especially in regions with limited medical facilities. In addition, some people are unaware of the symptoms caused by these diseases. The objective of the research is to design a rule-based web expert system prototype using the Buchanan and Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology and evaluate to determine the feasibility of building the system for early detection and timely treatment of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, Zika, Dengue, Diphtheria, Influenza, Chikungunya, and Monkeypox. The result was a prototype of an expert system with friendly and easy-to-use interfaces. In addition, the quality level of the prototype was evaluated through expert judgment, who analyz...
