EARLY WARNING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for assisting a plurality of patients manage chronic health conditions, for each patient the method comprising:
- (a) receiving information from the patient or a member of a patient care network on an expected patient activity at a given future time period;
(b) determining expected transient local ambient conditions in the patient'"'"'s surroundings during the expected patient activity at the given future time period;
(c) predicting health exacerbations for the patient using a stored computer model of the patient based on a desired patient control set-point range, the expected patient activity, and the expected transient local ambient conditions; and
(d) proactively sending a message to the patient or a member of the patient care network before the given future time period, the message alerting the patient or a member of the patient care network of the predicted health exacerbations for the patient and identifying one or more corrective actions for the patient to avoid or mitigate the predicted health exacerbations.

16. An early warning system for assisting a plurality of patients manage chronic health conditions, the early system comprising a computer system communicating with client devices operated by the plurality of patients over a communications network, for each patient the computer system being configured to:
-
(a) receive information from the patient or a member of a patient care network on an expected patient activity at a given future time period; (b) determine expected transient local ambient conditions in the patient'"'"'s surroundings during the expected patient activity at the given future time period; (c) predict health exacerbations for the patient using a stored computer model of the patient based on a desired patient control set-point range, the expected patient activity, and the expected transient local ambient conditions; and (d) proactively transmit a message to the patient or a member of the patient care network before the given future time period, the message alerting the patient or a member of the patient care network of the predicted health exacerbations for the patient and identifying one or more corrective actions for the patient to avoid or mitigate the predicted health exacerbations. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
