Abstract

Recently, expert systems have been used in different fields for different purposes in order to respond to the changing user needs with the rapid development of information and communication technologies. The most important of these can be listed as interpretation, prediction, diagnosis, design, planning, imaging, debugging, maintenance, education and control. With the increase in the use of expert systems in the field of healthcare, expert systems are not only used for diagnosis and treatment, but also act as a decision support system. Today, there are many software and approaches for nutrition program planning on the basis of nutrition-oriented practices. In particular, rule-based or case-based expert systems are frequently used in the field of nutrition. The aim of the research is to develop a web-based expert system prototype in the field of nutrition with a rule-based system approach using the Prolog development environment. For this purpose, because of clear and neat syntax, one of the expert system programming languages based on "first order predicate calculus" that is Prolog, PHP for web and in the design phase; Bootstrap framework were preferred. For data visualization, data is retrieved from MySQL database. The application developed within the scope of the research is expected to contribute to the efficient implementation of nutrition planning, especially for institutions with insufficient human experts. In this sense, a system that offers personalized nutrition program recommendations for people of different ages, genders, heights, weights and therefore different body mass indexes has been developed. Thus, considering the benefits of proper nutrition, it is expected that the developed system will help the dietitian in the process of determining the nutrition program/meal planning, and for the patients in the processes of maintaining and monitoring it.

Abstract

Son zamanlarda, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin hızlı gelişimi ile değişen kullanıcı gereksinimlerine cevap vermek için uzman sistemler farklı alanlarda, farklı amaçlarla kullanılmaktadır. Bunlardan en önemlileri, yorumlama, tahmin, teşhis, tasarım, planlama, görüntüleme, hata ayıklama, tamir, eğitim ve kontrol olarak listelenebilir. Sağlık alanında uzman sistemlerin kullanımının artışıyla birlikte, uzman sistemler sadece tanı ve tedavi amaçlı uygulanmayıp, aynı zamanda bir karar destek sistemi görevi yürütmektedirler. Günümüzde beslenme odaklı uygulamalar temelinde beslenme programı planlaması için çok sayıda yazılım ve yaklaşım bulunmaktadır. Özellikle kural tabanlı veya vaka tabanlı uzman sistemler, beslenme alanında sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, Prolog geliştirme ortamı kullanılarak kural tabanlı sistem yaklaşımı ile beslenme alanında web tabanlı bir uzman sistem prototipi geliştirmektir. Bu amaçla uzman sistem programlama dillerinden temeli “first order predicate calculus” a dayanan ve anlaşılır, düzgün bir söz dizimine sahip olduğundan Prolog programlama dili, web tarafında PHP ve tasarım aşamasında Bootstrap frameworkü tercih edilmiştir. Veri görselleştirme için veriler MySQL veritabanından çekilmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında geliştirilen uygulamanın özellikle yetersiz uzmana sahip olan kurumlar için beslenme planlamasının verimli bir şekilde gerçekleşmesine katkıda bulunması beklenmektedir. Bu anlamda, çalışmada farklı yaş, cinsiyet, boy, kilo ve dolayısıyla farklı vücut kitle endeksine sahip kişiler için kişiselleştirilmiş beslenme programı önerileri sunan bir sistem geliştirilmiştir. Böylelikle doğru beslenmenin yararları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, geliştirilen sistemin diyetisyen için beslenme programı/öğün planlaması belirleme sürecinde, hastalar için ise bunu sürdürme ve izlenebilir kılma süreçlerinde yardımcı olması beklenmektedir
