Abstract

The word prognosis comes from the Greek prognostikos (of knowledge beforehand). It combines pro (before) and gnosis (a knowing). Hippocrates used the word prognosis, much as we do today, to mean a foretelling of the course of a disease. In the field of engineering systems health management, prognosis is regarded as science and often called prognostics.
