A Medical Decision System to Prescribe Antibiotics

Adverse drug reactions lead to deaths in the healthcare system, especially the ones linked to antibiotic prescriptions. In order to reduce and prevent these, researchers at BFH have programmed a semantic decision-making system that supports doctors in their decisions alongside the usual guidelines. Our author reports here on the tool and compares it with the pure […]
