Issue :
Many healthcare structures in Africa continue to operate manually (e.g. with registers) and to analyze the massive quantities of data (text, images, blood data, etc.) that patients generate during daily consultations, hospitalizations, blood tests, X-rays, births, deaths, etc. .

The manual handling and analysis of these gigantic quantities of data is often the source of errors in the process, which can lead to consequences such as death. The use of paper, or the absence of an information system, wastes an enormous amount of practitioners' time in their day-to-day work.

The aim of this thesis is to design a digital system based on artificial intelligence that will provide doctors with a tool for managing their patients, as well as an intelligent tool for detecting and predicting the risk of cardiovascular disease on the basis of new data.

Objectives / Expected results :
In this thesis project, we aim to develop an AI-based Medical Information System (MIS) capable of:

  • Facilitate data analysis and knowledge extraction.
  • Assist the medical team in the decision-making process.
  • Enable monitoring of patients present and far away.

Contribution / added value to affiliated project:
Within the framework of this research project, our contribution will be, firstly, a patient management system to be used by doctors during consultations and, secondly, this thesis will lead to the implementation of a system based on artificial intelligence enabling the prediction and early management of cardiovascular diseases in Senegal.

Summary of your obtained results
In this thesis project, we aim to develop an AI-based Medical Information System (MIS) capable of :

  • Facilitate data analysis and knowledge extraction.
  • Assist the medical team in the decision-making process.
  • Enable monitoring of patients present and far away.

Perspectives by the end of the thesis and after completion ofthe thesis
As part of this research project, our contribution will initially be a patient management system to be used by doctors during consultations, and subsequently, this thesis will lead to the implementation of an artificial intelligence-based system for the prediction and early management of cardiovascular diseases in Senegal.
