Abstract: The paper presents models, algorithms, and a software package for intelligent support of pulmonologists based on a multilevel patient computer model. The developed package includes diagnostic and therapy selection modules integrated with a relational database and a web application featuring user role differentiation. Mamdani fuzzy inference algorithms were used to formalize expert knowledge, ensuring interpretability of decisions and robustness to incomplete initial data. Testing on real clinical data of patients with bronchial asthma confirmed the correct operation of the software package: the system demonstrated agreement between its results and expert medical opinions and the ability to generate reliable recommendations even when some input parameters were missing. The practical significance of the work lies in reducing data analysis time, standardizing the diagnostic and therapeutic process, and increasing the transparency in healthcare organizations.

Keywords: intelligent decision support, pulmonology, multilevel patient model, fuzzy logic, mamdani algorithm, diagnos-tics, therapy, web application, database
