This thesis presents work in problem detection for situation assessment in Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) for diabetes management. Diabetes is a disease is which the body does not produce, or does not properly make use of, the hormone insulin. Management of diabetes requires insulin therapy, a controlled lifestyle and close monitoring of the disease by both patient and physician. Poor management of diabetes can result in many serious long-term health complications. CBR is an artifcial intelligence (AI) approach that makes use of past experiences and knowledge to reason about new situations. CBR has been applied successfully in the medical field, but never as the primary reasoning mode for diabetes management. Situation assessment is the process by which large amounts of patient data are analyzed and problems that may require therapy adjustments are detected. Situation assessment is a critical component of the complete CBR system for diabetes management. In addition, the situation assessment routines may be used directly by physicians to assist in the identification of problems that require changes in therapy. The contributions of this thesis are: the design and implementation of twelve situation assessment routines, the design and implementation of two data aggregation and visualization programs, and knowledge acquisition for the construction of cases for a Case-Based Reasoning decision support system for diabetes management.
