This chapter aims at presenting an overview of two Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques: Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). It will present two implementation models, one for each technique, proposed by the Technology and Science Center (CCT) of the Catholic University of Brasília (UCB), in Brazil.
Afterwards, a case study will show the results of the implementation of those models in the context of IACVIRTUAL, which is a project of a Webbased Virtual Medical Office that has been developed by the researchers of CCT.
Therefore, the chapter will provide a practical demonstration of the application of CBR and GA in the field of Health, specifically as to the support to diagnosis.
