Introduction. Endometriosis is a difficult-to-diagnose pathology due to the diversity of clinical manifestations and the lack of high-precision markers necessary for rapid noninvasive diagnosis and timely administration of pathogenetically justified treatment.The aim of this work was to develop a computer system that allows us to assess the probability of endometriosis with various localizations in women, based on artificial neural networks.Material and Methods. The neural network mathematical models were constructed and tested based on data from 110 patients with morphologically pre-confirmed endometriosis. Patients were divided into training and test samples. The models were built based on anamnestic data and results of proteomic and enzyme immunoassays in blood plasma samples.Results and Discussion. In the course of the study, four mathematical models of neural networks were constructed to predict the presence or absence of endometriosis in a woman and its localization if present. Based on these mathematical models, a computer system “Differential diagnosis of endometriosis” was developed. This system allowed to assess the probability and localization of endometriosis in a patient based on parameters obtained as a result of neural network training.Conclusion. The developed computer diagnostic system allowed predicting the presence of endometriosis and its localization with a probability over 80%, depending on the predicted localization, based on data about the patient and the results of her examination. This system may be used for differential diagnosis of endometriosis from other diseases of the female reproductive system, as well as for differential diagnosis of various endometriosis localizations.

Background. Malignant melanoma is among the fastest increasing malignancies in many countries. With the help of new tools, such as teledermoscopy referrals between primary healthcare and dermatology clinics, the diagnosis of these patients could be made more efficient. The introduction of a high-quality smartphone with a built-in digital camera may make the early detection more convenient. This study presents novel directions for early detection of malignant melanoma based on a smartphone application. Objectives and Methods. In this study, we concentrate on a precise description of a complex infrastructure of a fully automated computer-aided diagnostic system for early detection of malignant melanoma. The framework has been customized for a dermoscope that is customized to attach to the smartphone to be able to carry out mobile teledermoscopy. The application requirements, architecture, and computational methods as well as behavioral and dynamic aspects have been presented in this paper. Conclusion. This paper presents a broad application architecture, which can be easily customized for rapid deployment of a sophisticated health application. Mobile teledermoscopy is a new horizon that might become in the future the basis of the early detection of pigmented skin lesions as a screening tool for primary care doctors and inexperienced dermatologists.
