Patent ID: 8727976

Claim:
A computerized disease management system, comprising: a computing environment, wherein the computing environment comprises a computing device used by a patient having a previously diagnosed disease and a network in data communication with the computing device; a data storage configured to store data indicative of disease therapies and to store data resulting from a health assessment of the patient; and a computer in data communication with the network, wherein the computer executes a disease management program to: perform a health assessment of the patient involving input of patient health data, the input of patient health data including at least one objective health measurement of the patient and at least one subjective health measurement of the patient; compare data resulting from the patient health assessment to stored data resulting from a previous health assessment of the patient, wherein the comparison of the health assessments is indicative of a progression of the disease over time, of the patient, the comparison further including determining a subjective objective correlation factor, the subjective objective correlation factor a statistical measure of patient ability to accurately describe the at least one subjective health measurement of the patient; optimize a disease therapy by selecting a disease therapy from the stored data indicative of disease therapies based on the comparison of the health assessments, the optimizing the disease therapy including at least one of: a review of patient therapy and an adjustment of patient therapy via a gradual titration of a dose of medication; factor the adjustment of patient therapy based on the subjective health measurement of the patient by the subjective objective correlation factor; and output data indicative of the selected disease therapy, wherein the selected disease therapy maximizes an efficacy and minimizes adverse side effects in physiological changes in the patient.
