[Automated collection of the anamnesis in mass screenings (the example of oncological screening)].

An automated system for collecting medical history data, incorporating computer devices, is proposed. The program of questioning according to a branching scheme has been devised. The automated method of collecting medical history data has the following advantages over the traditional questionnaire method: the automated method reduces the time of survey and fatigues the patients less; besides, it allows one to form "risk groups" to ensure greater precision in diagnosis and treatment.
