System and method for analysis of neurological condition
First Claim
1. A method of displaying information regarding progression of a neurological disorder, the method comprising:
- receiving as an input to a processor, a first datum of a first type relevant to neurological state of a patient at a first time, and a second datum of the first type relevant to neurological state of the patient at a second time subsequent to the first time;
causing the processor to apply a rule set to the first datum and the second datum to provide an indication of progression of the neurological disorder; and
causing the processor to generate an electronic document including the indication.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention comprise computer-based tools facilitating visualization and assessment of progression of neurological disorders in a patient. In one embodiment, data is received in the form of the results of standardized neurological examination of the patient. This input is compared to a rule set defining progression of the disorder, and the results of this comparison are displayed in an electronic document featuring internal links. The data may be displayed as tables and/or charts, with elapsed time plotted along a row/column or axis, respectively. Progression indication may be displayed through changed color. The electronic document can also display data not directly relevant to neurological condition, for example medication and radiation treatment schedules. By automatically displaying the data and the derived progression assessment according to the rule set, embodiments of the present invention are of particularly use in rapidly and uniformly evaluating treatment therapies.

13. An electronic document for visualizing progression of a neurological disorder in an individual patient, the electronic document comprising:
-
a contents page including a first link to a table of neurological symptoms;
a table of neurological symptoms page including a second link to a graphical display, wherein a progression of the neurological disorder is indicated by a change in color between a first data entry into the table and a second data entry into the table; and
a graphical display page wherein the progression of the neurological disorder is indicated by the change in color between a first data point plotted on a chart and a second data point plotted on the chart. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer readable storage medium having a computer-readable program embodied therein for directing operation of a host computer including an input/output system, and a processor, wherein the computer-readable program includes instructions for operating the host computer to process medical information according to the following:
-
receiving a first datum of a first type relevant to neurological state of a patient at a first time;
receiving a second datum of the first type relevant to neurological state of the patient at a second time subsequent to the first time;
applying a rule set to the first datum and the second datum to provide an indication of progression the neurological disorder; and
causing the processor to generate an electronic document including the indication. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
