DISEASE SIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A simulation system comprising:
- a processor unit;
a server configured to communicate with the processor unit through at least one communication network and run a simulation program stored in a computer readable medium, wherein (i) the server is remotely situated from the processor unit, (ii) the simulation program is configured to generate one or more simulated disease control parameter values and (iii) the disease control parameter values are related to patient self-care of a chronic or persistent condition being managed by a patient;
a recording device remotely situated from the server and configured to communicate with the processor unit; and
a healthcare provider computer remotely situated from the server, the processor unit and the recording device, wherein the healthcare provider computer is configured to communicate with the processor unit.

Abstract
A system and method for predicting the effect of patient self-care actions on a disease control parameter. A future disease control parameter value X(tj) at time tj is determined from a prior disease control parameter value X(ti) at time ti based on an optimal control parameter value R(tj) at time tj, the difference between the prior disease control parameter value X(ti) and an optimal control parameter value R(ti) at time ti, and a set of differentials between patient self-care parameters having patient self-care values SM(ti) at time ti and optimal self-care parameters having optimal self-care values OM(ti) at time ti. The differentials are multiplied by corresponding scaling factors KM. The system includes an input device for entering the patient self-care values SM(ti). A memory stores the optimal control parameter values R(ti) and R(tj), the prior disease control parameter value X(ti), the optimal self-care values OM(ti), and the scaling factors KM. A processor in communication with the input device and memory calculates the future disease control parameter value X(tj). A display is connected to the processor to display the future disease control parameter value X(tj) to a patient.
