SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HEALTH DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
The present invention provides a system and method for configurable patient queries based on the real-time results from a plurality of health monitoring devices. The results from the queries provide context to the real-time results of the health monitoring devices and are communicated back to an organizational network to inform future questions for that patient and the patient population in general. The system of the present invention provides context based on a set or sets of queries that may inform follow up questions. The context and queries may also be informed based on predetermined thresholds for a plurality of health monitoring devices communicating with the system over a network.
1 . A method for health data collection and analysis to patient healthcare management, the method implemented in a computer network and comprising the steps of:
loading food data, the food data being associated with a user's identified food and amount of identified food;
checking disease states and/or conditions associated with the food data;
predicting the user's physiological state utilizing the checking step;
collecting data from at least one health monitoring device connected to a computer network;
analyzing the collected data in order to determine the user's actual physiological state;
comparing the predicted and the actual physiological status of the user;
determining whether there are potential disease states, conditions or physiological changes as result of ingesting food utilizing the comparison step; and
notifying the user of the determined potential disease states.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the collecting step collects real time data.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the step of notifying comprises sending a message to the user over the computer network.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the food data comprises a meal time.
5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the step of analyzing comprises substeps to compare the collected data to predetermined information; to determine the most critical statuses; and to extract the most critical statuses.
6 . A system for health data collection and analysis to a patient healthcare management, the system comprising:
at least one health monitoring device;
databases for patient health data, food data and other data;
a prediction module, the prediction module being arranged to load food data from the databases, the food data being associated with user's identified food, to check for disease states and/or conditions associated with the food data and to predict the user's physiological state utilizing the checking step;
a data collecting module, the data collecting module being arranged to collect data from at least one health monitoring device;
an analysis module, the analysis module being arranged to analyse the collected data in order to determine the user's actual physiological state; and
a comparison module, the comparison module being arranged to compare the predicted and the actual physiological status of the user and to determine whether there are potential disease states, conditions or physiological changes as result of ingesting food utilizing the comparison.
7 . The system according to claim 6 , further comprising a user device in order to receive a message relating to said potential disease states, conditions or physiological changes as result of ingesting food utilizing the comparison.
8 . A non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions for causing a computer to perform the method of:
loading food data, the food data being associated with a user's identified food and amount of identified food;
checking disease states and/or conditions associated with the food data;
predicting the user's physiological state utilizing the checking step;
collecting data from at least one health monitoring device connected to a computer network;
analyzing the collected data in order to determine the user's actual physiological state;
comparing the predicted and the actual physiological status of the user;
determining whether there are potential disease states, conditions or physiological changes as result of ingesting food utilizing the comparison step; and
notifying the user of the determined potential disease states.
9 . The non-transient computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the collecting step collects real time data.
10 . The non-transient computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the step of notifying comprises sending a message to the user over the computer network.
11 . The non-transient computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the food data comprises a meal time.
12 . The non-transient computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the step of analyzing comprises substeps to compare the collected data to predetermined information; to determine the most critical statuses; and to extract the most critical statuses.
13 . A method for personal healthcare management, the method implemented at a health monitoring device and comprising the steps of:
scanning a unique article number associated with a food item,
acquiring food data linked with the unique article number;
checking disease states and/or conditions associated with the food data;
predicting a user's physiological state utilizing the checking step;
acquiring health data associated with the user;
analyzing the collected data in order to determine the user's actual physiological state;
comparing the predicted and the actual physiological status of the user;
determining whether there are potential disease states, conditions or physiological changes as result of ingesting food utilizing the comparison step; and
notifying the user of the determined potential disease states.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the health monitoring device is a smartphone.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the step of analyzing comprises substeps to compare the collected data to predetermined information; to determine the most critical statuses; and to extract the most critical statuses.
