Abstract: Medical Intelligent e-Learning Systems (MILSs) are concerned with the construction of intelligent software that performs diagnosis and make therapy recommendations. Unlike other medical applications abased on other programming methods such as purely statistical methods, MILSs are based on symbolic models of disease and their relationship to patient factors. Many types of MILSs are in existence today and are applies to different medical tasks, e.g. generation alerts and remainders, diagnosis assistant, therapy critiquing and education . This talk presents some of the intelligent technologies used in developing intelligent medical learning systems at Ain Shams University, Cairo, are discussed as well.
