and his/her transactional based analysis with patient
users. The collected data of the evaluation would be
examined to revise the VDS’s personality and
diagnosis knowledge. The personality is reflected
from majority of answers that reflect how people
can look to the VDS through his work and the
gathered cognitive thinking on him/her. We think
this approach may contribute to create the
foundation of mental cloning based computing that
can contribute to establish the best engagement and
harmony between human and machine taking into
consideration the human emotional recognition as
computational mechanism in this interaction, for
medical services.
The inference engine of the knowledge bases of
the VDS knowledge hierarchy is briefly, reported in
a companion paper in this proceedings. The
prototype version of the system is to be used in
medical practices in Kitamatuzono clinic, Morioka,
Japan. The related statistical data on experimenting
the work is to be reported in the near future.
