Abstract

A novel method and apparatus for dynamically correlating neurological and cardiovascular parameters and for diagnosing and treating patients using the same.

Claims

1. A method for identifying an interrelationship between the neurological and cardiovascular systems of a patient, comprising:

detecting at least one neurological parameter of the patient;

detecting at least one cardiovascular parameter of the patient; and

dynamically correlating at least one of the detected neurological parameters and at least one of the detected cardiovascular parameters, and using the same so as to identify an interrelationship between the neurological and cardiovascular systems of the patient.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein identification of the interrelationship between the neurological and cardiovascular systems of the patient is utilized to treat at least one undesired symptom of the patient.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein said symptom relates to depression.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein the treatment is primarily medical.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the medical treatment comprises a dynamic combination of dosage, regime or protocol.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein identification of the interrelationship between the neurological and cardiovascular systems of the patient is utilized to prevent at least one undesired condition of the patient.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein said condition relates to depression.

8. The method of claim 6 wherein prevention is achieved by primarily medical treatment.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein said medical treatment comprises a dynamic combination of dosage, regime or protocol.

10. The method of claim 6 wherein prevention of said condition primarily comprises a holistic methodology individually or in combination with at least one other holistic methodology.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein said holistic methodology comprises spiritual conditioning, acupuncture or stimulation of senses.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein said senses include visual, olfactory, tactile, auditory and taste senses.

13. The method of claims 1 wherein said dynamic correlation is undertaken concurrent with, and responsive to, at least one external stimulus to the patient.

14. A method for identifying an interrelationship between the neurological system and biological bearing of a patient, comprising:

detecting at least one neurological parameter of the patient;

detecting at least one biological parameter of the patient; and

dynamically correlating at least one of the detected neurological parameters and at least one of the detected biological parameters, and using the same so as to identify an interrelationship between the neurological system and biological bearing of the patient.

15. The method of claims 14 wherein the biological bearing comprises a genetic profile of the patient.

16. The method of claim 15 wherein the genetic profile comprises any one marker or combination of a plurality of markers suggesting a predisposition of the patient toward a condition.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein identification of the interrelationship facilitates prevention, diagnosis, treatment of or other desired therapeutic approach to the condition.

18. The method of claim 16 wherein the condition is a recognizable, measurable or observable phenotype or genotype.

19. The method of claims 14 wherein said dynamic correlation is undertaken concurrent with, and responsive to, at least one external stimulus to the patient.

20. A method for identifying an interrelationship between the cardiovascular system and biological bearing of a patient, comprising:

detecting at least one cardiovascular parameter of the patient;

detecting at least one biological parameter of the patient; and

dynamically correlating at least one of the detected cardiovascular parameters and at least one of the detected biological parameters, and using the same so as to identify an interrelationship between the cardiovascular system and biological bearing of the patient.

21. The method of claims 20 wherein the biological bearing comprises a genetic profile of the patient.

22. The method of claim 21 wherein the genetic profile comprises any one marker or combination of a plurality of markers suggesting a predisposition of the patient toward a condition.

23. The method of claim 22 wherein identification of the interrelationship facilitates prevention, diagnosis, treatment of or other desired therapeutic approach to the condition.

24. The method of claim 22 wherein the condition is a recognizable, measurable or observable phenotype or genotype.

25. The method of claims 20 wherein said dynamic correlation is undertaken concurrent with, and responsive to, at least one external stimulus to the patient.

26. Apparatus for identifying an interrelationship between the neurological and cardiovascular systems of a patient, comprising:

neurological apparatus for detecting at least one neurological parameter of the patient;

cardiovascular apparatus for detecting at least one cardiovascular parameter of the patient; and

computing apparatus for dynamically correlating at least one of the detected neurological parameters and at least one of the detected cardiovascular parameters, and using the same so as to identify an interrelationship between the neurological and cardiovascular systems of the patient.

27. A method for identifying an interrelationship between first and second anatomical systems of a patient, comprising:

detecting at least one parameter of the first anatomical system of the patient;

detecting at least one parameter of the second anatomical system of the patient; and

dynamically correlating at least one of the detected parameters of the first anatomical system and at least one of the detected parameters of the second anatomical system, and using the same so as to identify an interrelationship between the first and second anatomical systems of the patient.

28. Apparatus for identifying an interrelationship between first and second anatomical systems of a patient, comprising:

apparatus for detecting at least one parameter of the first anatomical system of the patient;

apparatus for detecting at least one parameter of the second anatomical system of the patient; and

computing apparatus for dynamically correlating at least one of the detected parameters of the first anatomical system and at least one of the detected parameters of the second anatomical system, and using the same so as to identify an interrelationship between the first and second anatomical systems of the patient.

29. A novel method for dynamically correlating neurological and cardiovascular parameters and for diagnosing and treating patients using the same.

30. A novel apparatus for dynamically correlating neurological and cardiovascular parameters and for diagnosing and treating patients using the same.
