Remote patient management system adapted for generating an assessment content element

1. A remote patient management system, the system comprising:

one or more processors programmed to:

receive content selection input provided by a physician;

deliver, in response to the content selection input, a content element to a patient associated with the patient's care plan selected by the physician, wherein the content element includes a list of assessment parameters which indicate a behavioral effect of the content element on the patient's compliance with the content element;

generate an assessment content element using the list of assessment parameters of the content element and the text of the content element by:

parsing the text into text elements;

determining a frequency of each of the text elements;

selecting a candidate for question creation using the frequency of each of the text elements; and

generating a question to create the assessment content element using the candidate and by reusing a question parsed from the text;

deliver the assessment content element to the patient;

receive a response from the patient responding to the assessment content element; and

calculate an assessment score using the response; and

a home infrastructure device, wherein the home infrastructure device includes:

a diagnostic medical device for measuring a value of a patient vital sign; and

wherein the list of assessment parameters is appended with a supplementary assessment parameter in response to the value of the vital sign measurement being outside of a predetermined range;

a voice to text generation module for at least partially generating the text on any audio components of the content element; and

an optical character recognition module for at least partially generating the text on any image components of the content element.

2. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the step of generating an assessment content element further includes:

determining an emphasis for each of the text elements;

determining a position for each of the text elements; and

wherein the step of selecting a candidate for question creation using the frequency of each of the text elements includes:

using the emphasis and position for each of the text elements for the selection.

3. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the step of generating an assessment content element further includes:

generating a set of multiple choice answers for each of the questions.

4. The remote patient management system of claim 3 , wherein the set of multiple choice answers is generated using at least one of:

a multi-choice template for answering closed questions;

a multi-choice template for answering open questions; and

multiple choice answers generated from a bullet list detected during parsing the text into text elements.

5. The remote patient management system of claim 3 , wherein the step of generating an assessment content element further includes:

generating a feedback element for each answer of the set of multiple choice answers.

6. The remote patient management system of claim 5 , wherein the feedback content element is generated using any one of the following:

a correct answer feedback template;

a partially correct answer feedback template;

an incorrect answer feedback template; and

an “I don't know” answer feedback template.

7. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the text elements include at least one of: questions, phrases, nouns, specific statements, and bullet lists.

8. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein a text to voice generation module further generates the assessment content element.

9. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the remote patient management system further includes:

a feedback device for providing feedback based upon the response.

10. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the assessment content element is a quiz or a survey.

11. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the assessment score is a measure of at least one of: knowledge, self-care behavior, compliance, and beliefs on barriers and benefits.

12. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the content element includes games-for-health, and symptoms checklists.

13. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the remote patient management system further includes:

a home infrastructure device, wherein the home infrastructure device includes:

a diagnostic medical device for measuring a value of a vital sign;

wherein calculation of the assessment score is based at least partially on a trend of the value of the vital sign.

14. A method of calculating an assessment score using a computing device with a processor, the method comprising instructions executable by the processor for:

receiving content selection input provided by a physician;

delivering, in response to the content selection input, the content element to the patient associated with the patient's care plan selected by the physician, wherein the content element includes a list of assessment parameters which indicate a behavioral effect of the content element on the patient's compliance with the content element;

receiving a measured value of a patient's vital sign from a diagnostic medical device, wherein the list of assessment parameters is appended with a supplementary assessment parameter if the value of the vital sign measurement is outside compliance with the content element;

generating an assessment content element using the list of assessment parameters and the text of the content element including:

partially generating text on any audio components of the content element;

partially generating text on any image components of the content element;

parsing the text into text elements;

determining a frequency of each of the text elements;

determining an emphasis for each of the text elements;

determining a position for each of the text elements, wherein the position indicates that a text element is located in one of:

a caption;

a heading; or

paragraph;

selecting a candidate for question creation using the frequency, emphasis, and position of each of the text elements; and

generating a question to create the assessment content element using the candidate;

delivering the assessment content element to the patient;

receiving a response from the patient responding to the assessment content element; and

calculating the assessment score using the response.

15. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the content element includes at least three of: a message, a tip, an interactive message, a medical video, a psychological video, a heart failure goal module, a diabetes goal module, games-for-health, symptoms checklists, recipes, and an educational game.

16. The remote patient management system of claim 1 , wherein the content element includes recipes.

17. The remote patient management system of claim 3 , wherein the set of multiple choice answers is generated using all of:

a multi-choice template for answering closed questions;

a multi-choice template for answering open questions; and

multiple choice answers generated from a bullet list detected during parsing the text into text elements.

18. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the content element includes at least three of: a tip, an interactive message, a medical video, a psychological video, a heart failure goal module, a diabetes goal module, games-for-health, symptoms checklists, recipes, and an educational game.

19. The method according to claim 14 , further including indicating that a text element is relevant in response to the positon of the text element indicating that the text element is located in a heading.
