DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM FOR THE METHODOLOGICAL TEST ANALYSIS (A CASE STUDY OF SICKLE CELL DISEASE)
ABSTRACT
This work is specially put together not to replace medical doctors or medical laboratory scientists but rather to assist them in accelerating in their diagnostic work which will go a long way to eliminate the trial and error method of treatment (which the doctors usually do while waiting for the lab result which would be detrimental to the patient.      In view of this, a careful study and understanding of this research will assist users, medial doctors & lab scientists. It will educate them on now best a computer can aid medical diagnosis for optimum service to the public.The project will go further to educate out lab scientists / doctors on the need to accumulated salient aspects of the medical know-how of even the most experienced specialist in the computer. So as to eliminate the vacuum that would have been created when specialist dies or is in capacitated.
ORGANISATION OF WORK
The research work on Hematological analysis is carefully organized for the orderly usage by its users. This organization is done using chapter specifications, with each of the chapter being sub divided into units for further explanation and understanding.
Chapter one tends to introduce the theme with the aim of identifying the problems encountered during the process of medical laboratory analysis also are its purpose of study, scope; assumption as well as the definition of terms that are used in the work. While chapter tow takes a look at the literature review of the research. Chapter three on the other hand tries to describe and analyze the present system, the fact and findings method, objectives and problems that are likely to be faced by the existing system.
In chapter four, the design and implementation of the new system is carried out, with chapter five giving a documentary accost of the system.
Finally chapter six recommends and concludes the work.
