A Fuzzy Logic Approach to Decision Support in Medicine

We established an application of fuzzy set logic for the development of a decision support in medicine. In this case, we apply a model on the prognosis of a patient suffering heart failure treated with beta-blockers. It shows how the basic rules are represented in a system depending on fuzzy logic based on expert experience.
