ILIAD: An Expert System for Diagnostic Assistance and Teaching: Implementation in France

Iliad is an expert system written in C for the Macintosh computer. The system operates in two modes: as an expert consultant to teach differential diagnosis and as knowledge-based patient case simulator to teach and test medical problem solving. An approach was proposed to create and maintain, in a syncronized fashion, a French version of the Iliad system. The French version is now being evaluated at the Faculte Lariboisiere Saint-Louis school of medicine and its evolution follows faithfully that of the master English version.
