1. A method for improving health risk determination for a patient, the method comprising:

  • accessing a log of use corresponding to a communication application for a mobile computing device associated with the patient;

    collecting location data corresponding to a location sensor of the mobile computing device;

    collecting motion data corresponding to a motion sensor of the mobile computing device;

    selecting a patient subgroup for the patient from a first subgroup and a second subgroup based on the location data and the motion data, wherein the first subgroup is selected in response to the location data and the motion data indicating a first mobility behavior shared by the first subgroup, wherein the second subgroup is selected in response to the location data and the motion data indicating a second mobility behavior shared by the second subgroup, wherein the selection of the patient subgroup is operable to improve data storage, data retrieval, and the health risk determination;

    retrieving a health risk model associated with the selected patient subgroup, the health risk model defining a correlation between a risk of change in a medical symptom and communication behavior for patients within the subgroup;

    determining a patient risk of change in the medical symptom for the patient based on the log of use and the health risk model; and

    facilitating provision of a health-related intervention for improving a health outcome of the patient, based on the patient risk of change.
