Automated profiler system for providing medical information to patients
First Claim
1. A method of generating individualized medical profiles for patients, the method comprising:
- selecting medical literature for inclusion in a medical database, based on a set of predetermined inclusion criteria;
extracting data from studies in the selected medical literature for addition to the medical database, the data extracted for each study including one or more input parameters, one or more output parameters, and one or more algorithms;
compiling a set of input parameters comprising one or more input parameters extracted from each study, a set of output parameters comprising one or more output parameters extracted from each study, and a set of algorithms comprising one or more algorithms extracted from each study;
collecting information from a patient to provide values for a subset of the set of input parameters;
matching the subset of input parameters to the one or more input parameters for each study in the medical database to produce a set of applicable studies;
using a first subset of the set of algorithms corresponding to the applicable studies on the values of the subset of input parameters to produce values for a subset of the set of output parameters corresponding to the applicable studies; and
generating an individualized medical profile based on the values of the subset of output parameters.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for generating individualized medical profiles based on information provided by a patient, and on data extracted from medical literature. In a first stage, medical literature is selected for inclusion in a database by using specified inclusion criteria. Information on input parameters to studies contained in the literature, output parameters of the studies, and algorithms contained in the studies is extracted from the literature, and stored in a database. In a second stage, patients provide information, which is matched against the input parameters of the studies in the database, and algorithms from the matched studies are applied to the information provided by the patient to produce values for the output parameters. Combination analysis is used to combine the values of output parameters into “super-category” values, that are used to generate an individualized medical profile.
