Tomatoes are plants that were first discovered in South America, closely related to eggplant, potatoes and peppers. Tomato is a fruit that has an attractive red color and is rich in vitamins such as vitamin C. So it is not wrong if tomatoes are very useful for maintaining the body's immune system. Each 100 grams of tomatoes contains 20 calories of calories, 1 gram of protein, 0.3 grams of fat, 4.2 grams of carbohydrates, 5 milligrams of calcium, carotene (vitamin A) 1500 SI, thiamin (vitamin B) 60 micrograms, ascorbic acid (vitamin C). ) 40 milligrams, phosphorus 27 milligrams, iron 0.5 milligrams, potassium 360 milligrams. Tomatoes are also vegetables or ingredients for cooking that are sought after by people to meet their daily needs. This makes the supply of tomatoes from farmers is always in shortage. The lack of supply of tomatoes in the market is caused by a decrease in tomato production or yields. This decrease in production was caused by several obstacles, one of the obstacles that caused crop failure was due to disease. Disease attacks on tomato plants can occur from planting to harvest. Diseases that often attack penicillin plants are sptoria leaf spot, anthracnose fruit bud, fusarium and verticium wilt, brown spot and late blight. Therefore, to handle this, of course, sufficient knowledge is needed to deal with and deal with pests and diseases in tomato plants appropriately. To overcome this, it is necessary to build a system that can diagnose diseases in tomato plants. So that farmers are able to overcome and deal with pests and diseases on tomato plants appropriately. Researchers have done a lot of research by building an expert system to diagnose a disease. With the results of research, an expert system is designed to assist farmers and agricultural extension workers in detecting diseases in soybean and rice plants.

Thyroid gland disease is a disorder that affects the thyroid gland, which plays a vital role in regulating the body's metabolism. Common symptoms associated with thyroid disease include tremors, concentration difficulties, changes in the menstrual cycle, and neck enlargement. At RSUD Dr. RM. Djoelham, Binjai, many patients struggle to understand and diagnose this disease early due to a lack of information and specific symptoms. To address this issue, an information technology-based system is needed to help the public recognize thyroid disease symptoms and provide an early diagnosis. One effective approach for designing such a system is using Case Based Reasoning (CBR), a method based on experience that solves problems by finding similar cases from existing data. This system can process symptoms entered by users, such as dry skin, anxiety, neck enlargement, and others. Based on previous cases, the system will calculate the percentage probability of the disease, thereby providing a more accurate early diagnosis. For example, if the selected symptoms are dry skin, neck enlargement, and shortness of breath, the system can give a 42% probability of a thyroid gland disorder.

Gouty arthritis or gout is a joint disease caused by high levels of purines in the blood. A person is said to be suffering from gout if the uric acid level in their body exceeds the normal limit, the normal limit is 7 mg/dL for men and less than 6 mg/dL for women. Excessive uric acid can cause a buildup of purines in the joints and other body organs, causing pain and inflammation in the joints. This condition can make the joints feel painful when moved and can also cause joint abnormalities and disabilities (Efendi et al., 2022). In Central Java, the prevalence of gout sufferers is approximately 2.6 - 47.2%, which varies in various populations (Zakiudin et al., 2024). Based on data from the Kecipir Community Health Center, the prevalence of gouty arthritis at the Kecipir Community Health Center in 2023 will reach 13.67%. The percentage of residents in Kalibuntu Village who suffer from gouty arthritis in 2023 will reach 24.3% in old age (Kecipir Community Health Center, 2023).

The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ that has a dual role in regulating the level of metabolism and regulates fat and carbohydrate metabolism. The shape resembles a butterfly and is the largest gland in the human body (Jamal & Maracilu, 2023). The thyroid gland is in the front of the neck just below the larynx and sticks to the trachea. This gland has two lobes, namely the right lobe and the left lobe that is connected by Isthmus which is a small piece of tissue (Arsana, 2023). The thyroid gland produces important hormones such as T4 and T3 needed by the body for metabolic functions. The production of this hormone depends on the intake of iodine from food and salt (Dewi et al., 2023).

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a long-term metabolic disorder caused by the body's insulin hormone which cannot be used properly to regulate blood sugar balance, resulting in hyperglycemia (Zakiudin et al., 2023). There are two factors that can affect a person's glucose levels, the first is endogenous factors such as insulin, glucagon, and cortisol which act as receptor systems in liver and muscle cells. The second factor is the amount and type of food consumed, which is an exogenous factor. Blood glucose levels are also influenced by a person's character (gender, family history of diabetes, and age), dietary factors (high energy, high carbohydrates, high fat, high protein, and low fiber), lack of physical activity, nutritional status, hypertension and knowledge about nutrition (Viera Valencia & Garcia Giraldo, 2019).
