ABSTRACT

The traditional biometric system focuses mostly on security surveillance and has little or no application in biomedicine. They are considered obsolete and not resilient in solving the world’s present complex problems. In this paper, a Biometric Artificial Intelligence (BAI) system capable of learning and adapting to any situation was developed with Fuzzy Expert System (FES) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques that generates three premise inputs that represent viral disease detection, treatment, and control. The BAI system was designed to replace frontline health workers for viral disease (Covid-19) testing and treatment so as to reduce the risk of person-to-person transmission. The research result analysis showed that the BAI system is more effective and efficient in carrying out viral disease testing and treatment than humans. C# and MATLAB applications were used as the test bed for system development and testing. Hopefully, the greater achievement will be made in the health sector with the deployment of BAI technology.
