computerized searches for symptoms and diagnosis of medical
conditions
What might be considered a precursor to artificial intelligence or
an expert system was an early experiment by Dr. Donald Lindberg that
simulated a physicians differential diagnostic logic. Initially the
project was called CONSIDER. The appropriate name suggests that the
physician should "consider" in his differential diagnosis the output of
this computer program. The program provided an association between
patient findings and diagnoses that the physician should consider. This
project was further developed by other medical centers under the name
RECONSIDER. [AER]
