Fuzzy logic (including in a wider sense intuitionistic and interval valued logic) is a type of multi-valued logic that is used to interpret human thinking and expertise and to transfer it into computerized diagnosis system. Up to now it has been applied in almost all disciplines in medicine. Some recent examples of fuzzy rule-based systems together with an evaluation and a ROC analysis will be presented.

Further, solution of the problem of determining medical diagnosis using intuitionistic fuzzy relations (occurrence relations and confirmability relations) will be evaluated. Advantages of intuitionistic relations
in building diagnostic models is to describe cases of indefiniteness more precisely. Moreover, it gives a possibility of changing the values of occurrence and confirmability fuzzy relations according to the influx of information and evaluation of the medical knowledge through the hesitancy relation.

About IBMI

Institute for Biostatistics and Medical Informatics (IBMI), formerly Institute for BioMedical Informatics (so still IBMI) was founded by the Faculty of Medicine as a result of a need for a unit which would perform, or coordinate, tasks related to data analysis and providing information, relevant for research in medicine. The programme of the institute, and its development, have been adjusting thorugh time to changes in financing and technological progress, but the basic aim remain the same: to support research in medicine. This is achieved through the following tasks:
