AbstractHLA typing service in blood transfusion center of Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University is mainly to determine allele pair for each HLA locus which plays an important role in organ transplantation. Currently, the task is done manually, time-consuming and requires carefulness. To improve the service, this thesis proposed an automated interpretation system providing information to support lab technician to interpret the lab result. The system was implemented using nearest neighbor search algorithm to find the best matched allele pair for the lab result. For safety purpose, system testing was performed to verify the developed system. 313 HLA typing cases were used assamples to measure consistency rate. The result shows that the consistency rates between the system and technicians are high (>90%). For usability evaluation, we had two routine technicians tried the system, answered questionnaires and gave constructive feedback. All in all, users are satisfied with the developed system.
