Abstract

A method and system for managing diabetes employing an interactive website for processing data through an algorithm to correlate the lifestyle factors with stored vital statistics to produce a real-time assessment of diabetes management such as glucose levels. The website gives the user an interactive and real-time analysis of blood sugar and other daily factors via instant access such as by an internet interface on a personal computer or cell phone, with the ability to monitor one'"'"'s individual performance, as well as viewing sample data from the same demographic group. A numerical score is displayed based on all input factors, and a predictive feature allows forecasts based on hypothetical changes in lifestyle conditions.

Claims

1. A system for managing diabetes patient related data in real time using an interactive website comprising:

a database for storing a population of diabetics'"'"' medical information;

an analytical means for applying an algorithm to a set of patient input data corresponding to a baseline condition, said analytical means determining a present condition and further determining a predictive condition based on proposed changes in said input data and said baseline condition;

means for remotely entering daily diabetic information data from said patient; and

a graphical interface for displaying a present rating of a diabetic condition based on said baseline condition and said daily diabetic information, and further displaying said predictive condition in response to a request for evaluation of proposed changes in said input data.

2. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, wherein the analytical means produces a present condition in real-time and the present condition is transmitted back to the patient remotely in real time.

3. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, wherein the present condition is displayed as a score between one and one hundred based on a plurality of factors relating to a glucose level.

4. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 3 wherein said at least one of said plurality of factors has an elasticity associated with another one of said plurality of factors.

5. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, wherein the graphical interface further displays historical data of various input data of the patient for tracking performance of the patient.

6. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, further comprising a video display screen for presenting video to the patient wherein said video is selected from user feedback, news footage, and sponsor messages.

7. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, further comprising a food database for presenting information on foods and restaurant products in response to a patient inquiry.

8. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, further comprising an activity database for presenting information on exercise and activities in response to a patient inquiry.

9. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, further comprising a pre-diabetes screening tab for displaying information on diagnosing and treating pre-diabetes in response to a user inquiry.

10. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, further comprising a medication database for presenting information on prescription and over-the-counter medications and interactions therebetween in response to a patient inquiry.

11. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 3, wherein said plurality of factors is selected from the group comprising insulin usage, glucose readings, food intake, activity levels, medications taken, and stress levels.

12. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, further stored daily profiles of common patient factors for entering into said database to save time in entering patient data.

13. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1 further comprising a snapshot page for displaying a plurality of factors on said graphical interface corresponding to a comprehensive view of the patient'"'"'s present condition.

14. The system for managing diabetes patient related data of claim 1, wherein said analytical means employs an algorithm that utilizes both a patient'"'"'s personal historical information and data from population of diabetics'"'"' medical information.

15. A method for determining and displaying a diabetes patient'"'"'s condition in real time based upon patient input, comprising the steps of:

providing an interactive website to communicate with said patient remotely;

surveying said patient using said interactive website to establish a baseline condition of said patient;

configuring a communication link with said patient to receive input from said patient remotely and storing said patient input in a database;

receiving daily data from said patient on specific factors relating to said condition;

providing an analytical means for determining a present condition of said patient based on a history of said patient input, and displaying on said patient'"'"'s remote display a condition rating based on the determination; and

determining a predictive condition of said patient using said analytical means in response to a patient inquiry, where said predictive condition is based on a specified change in said specific factors.

16. The method of determining and displaying a diabetes patient'"'"'s condition of claim 15, wherein said analytical means also determines the present condition of said patient and said predictive condition based on information stored in a database based on a population of diabetics'"'"' stored information on said database.

17. The method of determining and displaying a diabetes patient'"'"'s condition of claim 15, wherein said condition rating is a value between one and one hundred based on a plurality of factors assessed by said analytical means.

18. The method of determining and displaying a diabetes patient'"'"'s condition of claim 17, wherein said analytical means assigns an elasticity to at least one of said plurality of factors in connection with at least one other of said plurality of factors.

19. The method of determining and displaying a diabetes patient'"'"'s condition of claim 15, wherein said patient creates a daily profile of common factors and inputs into said database a daily profile when appropriate to save time.

20. The method of determining and displaying a diabetes patient'"'"'s condition of claim 15 further comprising displaying a historical response of patient input in a time frame selected by the patient from list comprising day, week, and month.

21. The method of determining and displaying a diabetes patient'"'"'s condition of claim 15 further comprising the step of displaying a snapshot page in response to a patient inquiry, where said snapshot page includes information on a plurality of factors that affect the patient'"'"'s condition.

22. The method of determining and displaying a diabetes patient'"'"'s condition of claim 21, wherein said plurality of factors are selected from:

insulin usage, glucose readings, food intake, activity levels, and stress levels.
