Model-based diagnosis with FTTell: Diagnosing early pediatric failure to thrive (Open Access)

FTTell is a model-based diagnostic system for Pediatric Failure To Thrive (FTT) in infants, achieving 87% accuracy compared to expert assessments. It aids pediatricians in diagnosing FTT more effectively, especially in borderline cases. This approach is applicable beyond medicine, extending to the diagnosis of various system problems.
