First Claim
1. An apparatus for processing medical literature comprising:
- a text mining module detecting an outcome study for a medical treatment from a medical publication;
a rule induction module mapping the medical treatment to a diagnostic and procedural code;
a data analyzer configured to perform;
(a) accessing a database for health data using the diagnostic and procedural code, the health data spanning previous treatment for a population of consumers;
(b) associating an outcome metric for the medical treatment with a consumer group; and
(c) repeating (a) and (b) to determine another outcome metric for another consumer group; and
a utility generator generating a utility function from the plurality of outcome metrics, the utility function gauging an efficacy of at least one intervention channel for a consumer.

Abstract
Apparatuses, computer media, and methods for supporting health needs of a consumer by processing input data. An integrated health management platform supports the management of healthcare by obtaining multi-dimensional input data for a consumer, determining a health-trajectory predictor from the multi-dimensional input data, identifying a target of opportunity for the consumer in accordance with the health-trajectory predictor, and offering the target of opportunity for the consumer. An outcome study for a medical treatment from a medical publication is detected. The medical treatment is mapped to a diagnostic and procedural code and a database for health data is accessed using the diagnostic and procedural code. An outcome metric for the medical treatment with a consumer group is associated, and a utility function is generated from the plurality of outcome metrics, where the utility function gauges an efficacy of at least one intervention channel for a consumer.
