FPGA implementation of fuzzy medical decision support system for disc hernia diagnosis

The aim of this study was to create a decision support system for disc hernia diagnostics based on real measurements foot force values from sensors and fuzzy logic, as well implement the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). results show that created logic had 92.8% accuracy pre-operational diagnosis very high match between Matlab FPGA output (94.2% condition, 100% post-operational after physical therapy conditions). Interestingly enough, our is also able detect improvements in patient condition surgery therapy. main benefit using FPGAs an inexpensive, portable expert time acquisition, processing providing objective recommendation tracking improvement.
