This paper presents a hybrid model of genetic and back propagation algorithm for the development of a decision support system for kidney stone. The initialization and optimization of the weights connection of ANN for improved performance was done with genetic algorithm. Object oriented analysis and design methodology was used for the design, java programming language was used for the interfaces and database respectively. Experimental results show that the hybrid model classified at higher
