Abstract

Social attributes such as education level, family history or place of residence all place a strong role in the probability of a person developing type II diabetes later in life. The aim of this paper is to develop a knowledge system based to use social attributes to estimate the prevalence of type II diabetes in a given area in Australia to support public health policymaking. The focus of this paper is towards answering the research question How can social determinants associated with type II diabetes, be used to incrementally develop a supporting knowledge-based system (KBS)? The contribution of this paper is two folds: 1. The problem domain is analysed and a suitable KBS development framework is chosen 2. A prototype is developed and presented. Initial results with preliminary data confirm the validity of the approach.
