Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system, and apparatus for providing interactive and analytical components that provide a comprehensive and dynamic tool for therapies to prevent and cure dementia-related diseases. The invention includes one or more computers that receive and store personal information for people, including personal background information, pre-existing conditions, current medications, genomic data and diagnostic information. The computers also generate synergic data containing compounded probability data specifying an expected adjustment of individual biological mechanisms from particular combinations of therapies. For each person, the computers process personal information and identify a subset of biological mechanisms that are principally affected by dementia-related diseases or the substantial risk of dementia-related diseases. The computers also apply the personal information including the principally-affected biological mechanisms to the therapy data and generate for each person one or more messages communicating a therapy plan containing a combination of therapies and determines how to apply the therapies.

Claims

1. A method for providing a therapy to a patient to improve cognitive health of the patient, the method comprising:

using at least one processor and at least one memory for;

receiving patient information including two or more of personal and family background data, pre-existing conditions, current medications, genomic data, and diagnostic information, the diagnostic information relating to biological mechanisms that define dementia-related diseases as a medical condition or risk of dementia-related diseases;

receiving therapy plan information, the therapy plan information comprising a plurality of individual therapy plans, each individual therapy plan specifying an individual biological mechanism targeted for physiological adjustment, variations found in an effect on the targeted biological mechanism as a function of the patient information, and data quantifying a probability of success of the individual therapy plan;

generating an aggregate therapy plan, the aggregate therapy plan targeting adjustment of a plurality of biological mechanisms using a combination of the individual therapy plans, the aggregate therapy plan comprising an aggregate probability reflecting a likelihood of achieving all targeted adjustments;

receiving diagnostic and testing data associated with the patient, the diagnostic and testing data captured after the patient has undergone treatment according to the aggregate therapy plan;

for each individual therapy plan in the aggregate therapy plan;

determining a value corresponding to the individual biological mechanism in the patient based on the received diagnostic and testing data;

performing a comparison of the value to a recommended range for the value, and

based on the comparison, dynamically adjusting the individual therapy plan for the biological mechanism when the value is within the recommended range; and

generating, for the patient, an adjusted aggregate therapy based on the individual therapy plan adjustments;

administering the adjusted aggregate therapy via communicable links to a mobile device of a therapy provider, wherein the adjusted aggregate therapy enables improvement in the cognitive health of the patient; and

adjusting the therapy plan information based on success of the individual therapy plans of the patient and of other patients;

and

further administering the adjusted aggregate therapy by the therapy provider.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

where in order to generate the aggregate therapy plan further using the at least one processor and the at least one memory for;

storing information regarding a patient'"'"'s previous compliance with a previous aggregate therapy plan.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the patient information includes family medical information and information on pre-existing medical conditions for the patient.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

where in order to adjust the therapy plan information based on the success of the individual therapy plans further using the at least one processor and the at least one memory for;

adjusting the therapy plan information based on the patient information and other patient information.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

where in order to receive patient information further using the at least one processor and the at least one memory for;

requesting additional patient information after the patient information is processed.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

using the at least one processor and the at least one memory for;

generating a summary of patient condition.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

using the at least one processor and the at least one memory for;

generating a prognosis for the patient.
