“PROBLEM STATEMENT”
“Access to Affordable Healthcare for Minor Health Issues”

Objective :
• The objective is to address the prevalent issue of limited access to affordable
healthcare for individuals facing minor health problems. Many people
encounter minor health concerns that do not necessarily require immediate
medical attention but still necessitate guidance or advice. However , due to
financial constraints , a significant portion of the population cannot afford
regular doctor visits for these minor issues.

Challenges :

1. Financial Constraints :
• Numerous individuals , particularly those from lower-income brackets or
without adequate insurance coverage , struggle to afford healthcare services
for minor health issues.
• The cost associated with frequent doctor visits , even for minor ailments like
coughs, fevers, or headaches, becomes a burden for these individuals and
families.

2. Unnecessary Healthcare Utilization :

• Lack of affordable healthcare options prompts individuals to seek medical
attention for minor issues that could be managed with guidance or over-the-
counter solutions.
• Overutilization of healthcare services for minor concerns places strain on the
healthcare system and often results in unnecessary expenses for patients.

“MOTIVATION”

• The motivation behind this Healthcare Expert System is offer preliminary

guidance to individuals experiencing common symptoms. It aims to provide
initial recommendations based on the user’s input regarding their symptoms,
age, and specific conditions related to their health issue. The system intends to
offer advice for self-care , medication suggestions, or when to seek immediate
medical attention based on the severity and nature of the symptoms.

“INTRODUCTION”

This Python code constitutes a simple healthcare expert system that interacts with the
user to identify symptoms – such as cough , fever , or headache – and provides basic
recommendations based on the symptoms and the user’s age. The system asks
questions related to the symptoms , user age , and certain conditions associated with
the symptoms. Based on the responses , it gives recommendations for potential
treatments or advises consulting a healthcare professional. Here's a breakdown of the
code:

1)Function ask_question(question, choices):

• This function displays a question along with a list of choices.
• It takes user input to select a choice by entering the corresponding number.
• Validates the user input and returns the selected choice.

2)Function healthcare_expert_system():
• Initiates the healthcare expert system.
• Asks the user for symptoms and age.
• Based on the identified symptoms(s) , further questions are asked to gather
additional information.
• Provides recommendations and advice for treatments based on the symptom(s)
, the user’s age ,and the information gathered.

The code mainly focuses on three symptoms : fever ,cough , and headache , for each
symptom, it collects additional details and provides treatment recommendations
accordingly .It also considers the user’s age to provide age-appropriate
recommendations.

The code structure includes specific recommendations and advice based on the
user’s age range and the severity or duration of the symptoms reported.
The functionally can be extended by adding more symptoms and related questions
along with suitable recommendations and considerations based one the
symptomatology and user’s characteristics(like age).

“CONCLUSION”

The provided code defines a healthcare expert system that interacts with a user to
gather information about their symptoms and age. Based on the symptoms entered
, the system provides recommendations for potential health issues and suggests
possible treatments or actions.

The system primarily focuses on three symptoms : fever , cough and headache.
For each symptom , it asks related questions to gather more specific details.
Depending on the age of the user and the nature of symptoms , it recommends
over the counter medications ,advises consulting a doctor , or suggests lifestyle
changes to alleviate the symptoms.

The code structure follows a sequential decision tree based on the symptoms
entered by the user , leading to specific recommendations and guidance tailored
to the symptoms and age group.
