Personalized Health Records with Associative Relationships
First Claim
1. A method for processing a personal health record (PHR) including a plurality of events each having a time stamp, the method comprising:
- creating a plurality of event-concept pairs by mapping each of the plurality of events in the PHR to a corresponding health concept;
assigning to each of the plurality of event-concept pairs the time stamp of the event corresponding to the event-concept pair;
identifying associations among the plurality of event-concept pairs;
identifying an associative subset of event-concept pairs among the plurality of event-concept pairs; and
linking a plurality of members of the associative subset of event-concept pairs to form a thread, wherein the thread presents a relationship among the plurality of members of the associative subset of event-concept pairs.

Abstract
A method for processing a personal health record (PHR) which includes a plurality of events each having a time stamp. The method includes creating a plurality of event-concept pairs by mapping each of the plurality of events in the PHR to a corresponding health concept, assigning to each of the plurality of event-concept pairs the time stamp of the event corresponding to the event-concept pair, identifying associations among the plurality of event-concept pairs, identifying an associative subset of event-concept pairs among the plurality of event-concept pairs, and linking a plurality of members of the associative subset of event-concept pairs to form a thread, in which the thread presents a relationship among the plurality of members of the associative subset of event-concept pairs.
