description
Diabetes In Action was an interactive training aid for NIDDM (Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes) aimed at
General Practitioners in the UK.
The application was the first computer program to qualify for PGEA (postgraduate education allowance) in the UK.
The system employed a customised version of a commercial expert system shell.
The program has two modes:
A reference mode to assist GPs to improve their awareness of the disease, its presentation, diagnosis and treatment;
An interactive mode inviting GPs to assess their knowledge, and to help them assess their learning needs.
