Abstract

Objectives: Determining the level of strength of patients’ body is essential for an Ayurvedic Physician to provide the appropriate dose of medicines to them. The proposed work is a stepping stone towards a vigilant and proper diagnosis that will surely leads to an efficacious treatment. Methods/Statistical Analysis: A fuzzy logic based expert system is designed to calculate the quality of the seven tissues (Lymph, Blood, Muscle, Fat tissue, Bone, Bone Marrow, Reproductive tissues) and mind of a human body. Based on that quality the overall body strength is computed. All the required parameters are finalized after consulting an Ayurvedic Expert during knowledge acquisition phase. Findings: The accuracy and veracity of the system is evaluated by ranking all results of different defuzzification methods. Data collection is performed by survey method and results were highlighted as false positives and false negatives after verifying from expert. Maximum results depict that the outputs produced by the proposed system matches with those of Ayurvedic Expert. Application/ Improvements: The proposed system will guide the physicians to plan the dose of medicines and treatment for the patients. This fuzzy based system will prove itself as a learning kit for Ayurveda and Vedic practitioner.
