Logical-mathematical "ND" software development

In this article, we propose a mathematical analysis model for the generation of a proportional value of defining characteristics in nursing diagnoses. The study results are based on the logical-mathematical development of software specifically built for the generation of diagnosis hypotheses. The final calculation creates the sum of all defining characteristics found in each diagnosis, comparing it with the value of the V variable of the diagnosis, according to a mathematical rule that was set. It is concluded that the software needs to go through clinical validation in order to evaluate the pertinence of the rule proposed here.
