In our contemporary research we are trying to develop the artificial neural network (ANN) model for the prediction of outcome after the occurrence of stroke. This paper mentions some important facts about stroke as well as the urgent need for Computer Assisted Decision Support (CAMS) systems in the relation to clinical practice.
The short review of related studies of ANN in medicine is included. The model input and output parameters were selected and are also described.
The basic ANN design for the predictive model is mentioned together with the future directions of our research.
