Warfarin predictor design
Warfarin predictor was a result of my cosc366 research project. It is a web based application that uses machine learning algorithms to predict a right dose for hart-valve transplant patients. The importance of determining a correct dose comes from a fact that there is a very real danger of blood clots occurring on the heart-valve of a patient . In order to prevent blood clotting Warfarin is taken by patients as a blood thinner. By taking a right dose a patient has a minimal chance of clotting, while still ensuring that patient has enough clotting ability so that he or she does not bleed to death.
Even though I did try to do this project in OO style, the functionality that needed to come out of it were more important for the project so I haven’t spent too much time on putting it in right OO space. There is a good chance I will need to work some more on this project ( add some more functionality) in the near future so before I do start I would like to see it being refactored.
