Abstract

The present invention provides a computer-assisted process for receiving cognitive behavior data for use in a therapy, the computer-assisted process comprises the steps of: (a) providing at least one mobile device to a patient, wherein the at least one mobile device is functionally connected to a central repository; (b) capturing and storing, in the central repository, via an interface on the at least one mobile device, the cognitive behavior data of the patient, thereby enabling remote and impromptu receipt of the data without delay; (c) retrieving the cognitive behavior data of the patient from the central repository; (d) reviewing the cognitive behavior data by the health care provider as part of the therapy to produce a review; and (e) having the health care provider prescribe treatment based on the review.

Claims

1. A computer-assisted process for receiving cognitive behavior data for use in a therapy, said computer-assisted process comprising the steps of:

(a) providing at least one mobile device to a patient, wherein said at least one mobile device is functionally connected to a central repository;

(b) capturing and storing, in said central repository, via an interface on said at least one mobile device, said cognitive behavior data of the patient, thereby enabling remote and impromptu receipt of said cognitive behavior data of the patient without delay;

(c) retrieving said cognitive behavior data of the patient from said central repository;

(d) reviewing said cognitive behavior data by a health care provider as part of said therapy to produce a review; and

(e) having the health care provider prescribe treatment based on said review, wherein said step of capturing and storing is configured to encourage participation of the patient in said therapy and to discourage negative behaviors said therapy is designed to control.

2. The process of claim 1, further comprising:

(a) retrieving historical cognitive behavior data; and

(b) graphing said cognitive behavior data and said historical cognitive behavior data such that cognitive behavior change is discernible over time based on said cognitive behavior data in contrast to said historical cognitive behavior data.

3. The process of claim 1, wherein said step of capturing and storing is performed at predetermined time intervals.

4. The process of claim 3, further comprising a step of alerting the patient preceding said step of capturing and storing.

5. The process of claim 1, wherein said step of capturing and storing is performed at an ad hoc basis according to the need of the patient.

6. The process of claim 1, further comprising a step of adding said cognitive behavior data and historical cognitive behavior data to a treatment record associated with the patient to produce evidence based care.

7. The process of claim 1, wherein said at least one mobile device is selected from a group consisting of smart phones, pads, tablets, personal digital assistants, and mobile computers.

8. The process of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving survey results from the patient responding to a survey regarding an in-office visit; and

(b) having the health care provider prescribe treatment based on said survey results.

9. The process of claim 1, further comprising matching the patient to at least one additional health care provider.

10. A computer-assisted process for receiving cognitive behavior data for use in a therapy, said computer-assisted process comprising the steps of:

(a) providing at least one mobile device to a patient, wherein said at least one mobile device is functionally connected to a central repository;

(b) capturing and storing, in said central repository, via an interface on said at least one mobile device, said cognitive behavior data of the patient, thereby enabling remote and impromptu receipt of said cognitive behavior data without delay;

(c) retrieving said cognitive behavior data of the patient from said central repository;

(d) reviewing said cognitive behavior data by a health care provider as part of said therapy to produce a review;

(e) receiving survey results from the patient responding to a survey regarding an in-office visit; and

(f) having the health care provider prescribe treatment based on said survey results and said review;

wherein said step of capturing and storing is configured to encourage participation of the patient in said therapy and to discourage negative behaviors said therapy is designed to control.

11. The process of claim 10, further comprising:

(a) retrieving historical cognitive behavior data; and

(b) graphing said cognitive behavior data and said historical cognitive behavior data such that cognitive behavior change is discernible over time based on said cognitive behavior data in contrast to said historical cognitive behavior data.

12. The process of claim 10, wherein said step of capturing and storing is performed at predetermined time intervals.

13. The process of claim 12, further comprising a step of alerting the patient preceding said step of capturing and storing.

14. The process of claim 10, wherein said step of capturing and storing is performed at an ad hoc basis according to the need of the patient.

15. The process of claim 10, further comprising a step of adding said cognitive behavior data and historical cognitive behavior data to a treatment record associated with the patient to produce evidence based care.

16. The process of claim 10, wherein said at least one mobile device is selected from a group consisting of smart phones, pads, tablets, personal digital assistants, and mobile computers.

17. The process of claim 10, further comprising matching the patient to at least one additional health care provider.

18. A computer system for receiving cognitive behavior data of a patient for use in a therapy, said computer system comprising:

(a) at least one central repository capable of storing cognitive behavior data and historical cognitive behavior data;

(b) at least one mobile device assigned to the patient;

(c) at least one web server, functionally coupled to said at least one central repository and said at least one mobile device, said at least one web server is configured to;

(i) capture, at a remote location, said cognitive behavior data and store said cognitive behavior data in said at least one central repository;

(ii) retrieve said cognitive behavior data of the patient from said at least one central repository; and

(iii) retrieve historical cognitive behavior data of the patient from said at least one central repository.

19. The computer system of claim 18, wherein said at least one mobile device is selected from a group consisting of smart phones, pads, tablets, personal digital assistants, and mobile computers.

20. The computer system of claim 18, further comprising at least one computer assigned to at least one health care provider matched to the patient.
