Abstract

Urinalysis is a very important test of laboratory medicine, providing valuable information about metabolism, kidney, and urinary tract. For several reasons, including lacking of professional qualification, it does not receive the proper attention, what prevents it to achieve its whole power. Considering that, a knowledge-based system for decision support in urinalysis could help to change this situation, being useful to professional training, decision support during the process or even the automation of the test. This paper proposes the development of such a system, employing ontologies, Bayesian networks, and templates of cognitive tasks to treat domain knowledge. Then, urinalysis is briefly discussed and system architecture is presented, as well as the current state of the work and future steps.
