Patent ID: 8630875

Claim:
A computerized method for assessing health for a patient having a disease being managed via a computing device, the method comprising: receiving, by the computing device, information input by a patient, via direct interactive dialogue between the patient and the computing device, the information input including at least one of: an objective measurement, a subjective input, and a side effect input, the information input including whether the patient presently has a symptom; receiving, by the computing device, data associated with a disease; storing, by the computing device, the data associated with the disease; determining, by the computing device, whether the information input is related to the disease being managed for the patient based on the stored data associated with the disease; receiving, by the computing device, health assessment information based at least on the determining and based on the information input of whether the patient is a new patient or a returning patient; determining, by the computing device, a current health state of the patient via 1) a current health assessment module, the current health assessment module including a correlation assessment including a subjective objective-correlation factor (SOCF), 2) a correlation assessment function, the correlation assessment function compares subjective measurements to objective measurements from the patient to determine a reliability of the patient's subjective measurements, and 3) an analysis of a SOCF time plot, the SOCF time plot based on a ratio of subjective to objective measurements over time, the current health state based on the objective measurement, the side effect input as adjusted by the SOCF, the current health assessment module, the correlation assessment function, and the analysis of the SOCF time plot and the subjective input as adjusted by the SOCF; and outputting, by the computing device, the current health state of the patient; wherein the current health assessment module comprises an assessment function, the assessment function analyzes disease-specific changes with regard to health measurements of the patient tracked over time to identify and predict changes in the current health state of the patient.
