Abstract: Medical Science is considered as a field of uncertainty, vagueness and complexity. Fuzzy logic plays an important role to
deal with these uncertainty, vagueness and complexity. Detection of diseases in medical is a very difficult task. To improve accuracy
rate engineers helping in detection of the diseases by developing the Expert System using Fuzzy Logic. Fuzzy logic consists of many
valued logic. It has varying values in the range of 0 and 1 instead of fix values. In this study, we developed a Fuzzy Expert system to
detect Anemia on the basis of Symptoms as well as clinical test.

8. FUTURE WORK
The future work will focus on developing a machine learning
approach to classify different types of anemic RBCs in
microscopic images. The method described in this dissertation
can be extends in future very efficiently. We can classify
anemia on the basis of RBC structure using digital image
processing. We can also provide some CBC reports and load
that report as it is in our system and detect anemia in future. We
can also detect anemia and classify it only on the the basis of
factors of anemia along with classifiers, International Journal of
