Soft Computing System for the Diagnosis of Hormonal Imbalance

Soft computing, as a science of modeling systems, applies techniques such as evolutionary computing, fuzzy logic, and their hybrids to solve real-life problems. Soft computing techniques are quite tolerant of incomplete, imprecise, and uncertainty when dealing with complex situations. This study adopts a hybrid of genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic in diagnosing hormonal imbalance. Hormones are chemical messengers that are vital for growth, reproduction, and are essential for human existence. Hormones may sometimes not be balanced which is a medical condition that often go unnoticed and it’s quite difficult to be diagnosed by medical experts. Hormonal imbalance has several symptoms that could also be confused for other ailments. This proposed system serves as support for medical experts to improve the precision of diagnosis of hormonal imbalance. The study further demonstrates the effective hybridization of genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic in resolving human problems.
