I may be remembering incorrectly, but there was a film called
"The Chips are Down" made about 10 years ago (maybe less) that
spotlighted a package then under development to do medical diagnosis
using a primitive knowledge-based system and a whole lot of rules
of thumb heuristics.  It has been long enough ago since I have seen it
that I do not remember who makes it, where the work was being done,
or who was doing the work.  The film was a documentary on the micro-
electronic revolution and some of the AI work being done at the time.
Things shown were (I believe) the CMU robot, SHRDLU(?) and this medical
diagnosis system.  It may not be what you're looking for, but it may give
a direction to proceed and/or meet your needs.
