IMPORTANCE OF FUZZY LOGIC METHODS IN SOLVING PROBLEMS OF MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS

The article talks about how diagnosing patients forms an important part of medical practice and medical science, as well as the digitization of this process. In the process of making this diagnosis, experts in the field perform it intuitively based on their experience. At the same time, as information technologies are rapidly penetrating all fields, they are also being integrated into the medical field. Digitization of knowledge and individual experience of medical specialists is one of the urgent problems. Even though the computerization of the medical diagnosis process began in the 50s of the last centuries, some issues are still waiting to be solved. Since such problems are a problem of complex formation, the use of soft calculation methods of computer modeling in solving such problems allows to obtain more accurate solutions. The article provides analytical information about the use of fuzzy logic methods in making decisions in the medical diagnosis of patients.
