First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for using a database of patient data to simulate disease progression and identify relationships affecting disease treatment and outcome by analyzing patient specific data in the context of historical data, the system comprising:
- a database of historical patient data;
a system for receiving patient specific data; and
a computer system programmed to;
receive patient specific information;
identify and retrieve relevant historical patient data;
analyze the patient specific information with respect to the relevant historical patient data; and
output information as to the patient'"'"'s likely response to treatment protocols or suggested treatment options based on the analysis of the patient specific information with respect to the relevant historical patient data.

17. A system for updating a database of patient data that is used to simulate disease progression and identify relationships affecting disease treatment and outcome by analyzing patient specific data in the context of historical data, the system comprising:
-
means for automatically sending requests for follow up input and providing an incentive to do so;
means for receiving and/or storing the information in a defined format; and
means for updating the database with the information.

18. A system for diagnosing and predicting disease behavior, the system comprising:
-
a data storage system for storage of historical disease-related data from patients;
a data retrieval system for accessing the data storage system and retrieving information relevant to an analysis of a new patient; and
a data analysis system that analyzes the historical data and determines patterns which assist in diagnosing and predicting disease behavior in the new patient when data pertaining to the new patient is entered into the data analysis system.

19. A method for predicting disease progression in a given patient, the method comprising:
-
entering data specific to the patient;
comparing the specific given patient data with historical data stored from many other patients with the same disease;
conducting a statistical analysis relating to the behavior of the disease in the given patient with the historical data; and
outputting a resultant analysis that predicts the likelihood of disease outcomes in the given patient based on patterns discovered in the historical patient data.

20. A method of using a database of patient data to simulate disease progression and identify relationships affecting disease treatment and outcome by analyzing patient specific data in the context of historical data, the method comprising:
-
prompting the user to provide specific information with regard to a patient;
receiving patent specific data;
identifying and retrieve relevant historical patient data from a database of patient data;
analyzing the patient specific information with respect to the relevant historical patient data; and
outputting information as to the patient'"'"'s likely response to treatment protocols or suggested treatment options based on the analysis of the patient specific information with respect to the relevant historical patient data.
