The increasing demand for high-quality medical services coupled with the scarcity of medical experts leads to the use of electronic devices, information technology and its infrastructure in delivering health service. In line with that, this work proposes a solution to the problems of scarcity of experts especially in the remote regions of developing countries by developing a system that uses NLP and Nearest Neighbors Algorithms to learn from an online case-based repository built on a network of experts’ hospitals to aid remote health Centers in diagnosis and treatment. The results obtained from the empirical evaluation of the system show the efficiency of the system in assisting non-experts in decision making and could, therefore, improve the quality of service in the remote health center with a very minimal cost.Keywords: Case-Based system, NLP, Diagnosis, Nearest NeighborsVol. 26 No 1, June 2019

Background :Teacher-centered education dominates dental education in China. This report introduced the redesign of an orthodontic course previously delivered in a traditional lecture format into a case-based and student-centered learning format that focuses on improving students’ ability in clinical problem-solving and decision making skills.Methods :Thirty five dental students at the fourth year of a five-year B.D.S. program met in a ten-period series of seminars. Case details with relevant diagnostic records were provided to each student ahead of time. A diagnostic worksheet was used to guide students through the analytical process to develop the diagnosis and treatment plan. Students took turns leading the discussion at each seminar. Instructors served as facilitators and evaluators. Following the last session, a questionnaire was distributed to each student to evaluate the case-based learning program.Results :Responses from students revealed that the case-based orthodontic course was well received. Students commented favorably upon improvement in the aspects of problem lists, diagnosis and treatment planning.Conclusion :It was our initial attempt of using case-based learning format often used in postdoctoral dental education as a curriculum innovation in undergraduate orthodontic education. Our pilot investigation indicated that CBL is worthy of wide use and could be applied in multilevel dental education to develop the dental student's knowledge and skill in comprehensive patient evaluation and diagnosis in preparation for treatment planning.
