Abstract
The invention provides method and systems for performing clinical assessment of a patient that includes determining of a base clinical assessment for the patient by generating information on a clinical rating scale. At least one objective signal is recorded, and each objective signal involves an indicator corresponding to the state of the patient or the state of the patient'"'"'s environment. Each objective signal is analyzed for generating a corresponding rating on the clinical rating scale. The clinical assessment of the patient may be provided by combining the information from the base clinical assessment with the information generated from analysis of each objective signal. In an embodiment, the clinical assessment may be based exclusively on information generated by analysis of each objective signal. The methods for performing clinical assessment of a patient may also be provided as computer program products having computer readable instructions embodied therein.
