METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING QUESTIONNAIRES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing a questionnaire to a patient based on patient'"'"'s current health condition, wherein the method is implemented in a computer system comprising one or more processors configured to execute one or more computer programs modules, the method comprising:
- measuring physical activity of a patient with an activity monitor to gather physical activity data;
measuring respiration rate of such a patient with a respiration rate sensor to gather respiration rate data;
measuring heart rate of such a patient with a heart rate monitor to gather heart rate data;
measuring cough frequency of such a patient with a cough frequency monitor to gather cough frequency data; and
executing, on a processor of a computer system, one or more computer program modules configured to generate a questionnaire to gather information from such a patient, wherein generating the questionnaire comprises selection of a set of questions from a plurality of sets of questions, with selections being based on one or more of the physical activity data, the respiration rate data, the heart rate data or the cough frequency data.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing a questionnaire to a patient based on patient'"'"'s current health condition is provided. The method includes measuring physical activity of the patient with an activity monitor; measuring respiration rate with a respiration rate sensor; measuring heart rate with a heart rate monitor; measuring cough frequency with a cough frequency monitor; and executing, on the processor of the computer system, one or more computer program modules configured to generate a questionnaire to gather information from the patient. The questionnaire comprises a set of questions that are based the gathered physical activity data, respiration rate data, heart rate data, cough frequency data, or any combination thereof.
