Neural Network in Communication with Medical Computer System.

The paper presents a concept of an experimental module designed to recognize spoken utterances that cover a limited range of words indispensable in dialogs with computer medical systems. Research into the recognition of spoken words by a module based on artificial neural network is described. Usefulness of the obtained results for surgery-assisting multimedia systems and for a patient simulator supporting medical education of students in case history-taking and diagnosing is also discussed.
