Abstract:
1. A system comprising at least one processor coupled to at least one machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by the at least one processor to implement: an interface layer component configured to provide a gateway to a data network, wherein the data network maintains a plurality of health-related data elements each wrapped or embedded with meta-data respectively describing at least the element, a source of the element, and relationships associated to the element, and arranged in an N-dimensional structure, N an integer, including vectors connecting ones of the plurality of health-related data elements having same or similar characteristics; a data mining engine configured to at least one of analyze or extract a subset of the health-related data elements within the data network, wherein the interface layer component is further configured to facilitate sharing the analyzed or extracted subset of health-related data elements, and the data mining engine is further configured to automatically establish a pattern associated with the subset of health-related data elements, the pattern to prompt one of a public or private action; a monitoring/analysis component configured to dynamically monitor the data network and prompt the data mining engine upon identification of relevant health-related data based on pre-programmed criteria and criteria inferred as a function of a monitoring entity context, characteristics of a defined population and notification of a health-related issue, the pre-programmed criteria including one of a specific diagnosis, a specific physiological parameter or a specific environmental condition, the prompt to trigger the data mining engine to analyze or extract the subset of health-related data elements based on the pre-programmed and inferred criteria, and a plurality of thresholds associated with health-related symptoms in a defined population, region, race and location, the monitoring/analysis component comprising a plurality of physiological and environmental sensors to capture the relevant health-related data, the monitoring/analysis component further configured to establish proactive health risk identification, and to identify a regional need for medicine and treatment advertising and insurance; a data normalizer component configured to standardize the plurality of health-related data elements to assist the data mining engine in analysis, at least in part by mapping tags, assigned from a selected classification scheme via sensory data capture mechanisms to the plurality of health-related data elements, to a standard system, and cleansing the tags of errors; a filtering component configured to limit and render a limited subset of the plurality of health-related data elements, based on a predefined policy; and an ordering component configured to organize the subset of the health-related data elements for display, based on at least one of an order or rank assigned a data pattern or trend.
