Abstract

A team of physicians from Johns Hopkins Hospital developed an Internet based questionnaire, which duplicates a physician taking a careful and thorough history. This is an “Expert System” based on using artificial intelligence and Bayesian analysis to interpret and score the answers to the questionnaire. When the patient finishes the questionnaire, called the Pain Diagnostic Paradigm, in either English or Spanish, within five minutes, diagnoses are generated. Based on the answers to the questions, the diagnoses have a 96% correlation with diagnoses of Johns Hopkins Hospital doctors [9]. Then, using the accurate diagnosis, the Treatment Algorithm recommends the correct test to use. The efficacy of this technique has been documented by the ability of the Pain Diagnostic Paradigm and Treatment Algorithm to predict intra-operative finding with 100% accuracy [10].
