Method for modeling behavior and health changes
First Claim
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.

Abstract
One method for supporting a patient through a treatment regimen includes: accessing a log of use of a native communication application executing on a mobile computing device by a patient; selecting a subgroup of a patient population based on the log of use of the native communication application and a communication behavior common to the subgroup; retrieving a regimen adherence model associated with the subgroup, the regimen adherence model defining a correlation between treatment regimen adherence and communication behavior for patients within the subgroup; predicting patient adherence to the treatment regimen based on the log of use of the native communication application and the regimen adherence model; and presenting a treatment-related notification based on the patient adherence through the mobile computing device.

9. A method for improving health status determination for a first patient, the method comprising:
-
accessing a log of use corresponding to a communication application for a first mobile computing device associated with the first patient; collecting first mobility data corresponding to a first mobility sensor of the first mobile computing device; selecting a patient subgroup for the first patient from a first subgroup and a second subgroup based on the first mobility data, wherein the first subgroup is selected in response to the first mobility data indicating a first mobility behavior associated with the first subgroup, wherein the second subgroup is selected in response to the first mobility data indicating a second mobility behavior associated with the second subgroup, wherein the selection of the patient subgroup is operable to improve data storage, data retrieval, and the health status determination; retrieving a health risk model associated with the selected patient subgroup, the health risk model defining a correlation between health status and communication behavior for patients associated with the subgroup; determining a patient health status for the first patient based on the log of use and the health risk model; and facilitating provision of a health-related intervention for improving the patient health status for the first patient, based on the patient health status. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
