Abstract

According to an embodiment, a health data system receives one or more personal health records from an application. The health data system analyzes the data contained within the one or more personal health records, and receives electronic health records other health data, such as genetic data, where the electronic health records and other health data are stored on remote data sources. The health data system then selects the appropriate electronic health records and other appropriate health data based on the data contained within the one or more personal health records. The health data system can then correlate the data from the one or more personal health records with the data contained within the appropriate electronic health records and the other health data. The health data system then encapsulates the correlated data as diagnostic data, and provides the diagnostic data to one or more diagnostic clients.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a first data input comprising one or more personal health records, a second data input comprising one or more electronic health records, and a third data input comprising other health data;

correlating the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input;

creating a data set comprising one or more attributes of an individual and one or more baseline attributes based on the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input;

generating diagnostic data, wherein the diagnostic data comprises the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input; and

sending the diagnostic data to a diagnostic client device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the diagnostic client device displays the diagnostic data within a user interface.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining if the one or more attributes of the individual deviate from the one or more baseline attributes;

determining if a deviation is greater than a pre-defined threshold when the one or more attributes of the individual deviate from the one or more baseline attributes; and

transmitting an alert indication to the diagnostic client device when the deviation is greater than the pre-defined threshold.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the diagnostic client device displays the alert indication within a user interface.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the other health data comprises genetic data.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more personal health records are created based on data that is input by a user.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the data that is input by the user comprises at least one of:

data associated with one or more daily events of an individual, data associated with one or more growth measurements of an individual, data associated with one or more medications of an individual, data associated with one or more health milestones of an individual, data associated with one or more diseases, or one or more images.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving, correlating, creating, generating, and sending are each performed by a health data server.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the second data input and the third data input are each stored on a remote data source.

10. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor;

a memory comprising computer code;

the memory and the computer code being configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus, at least, to;

receive a first data input comprising one or more personal health records, a second data input comprising one or more electronic health records, and a third data input comprising other health data;

correlate the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input;

create a data set comprising one or more attributes of an individual and one or more baseline attributes based on the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input;

generate diagnostic data, wherein the diagnostic data comprises the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input; and

send the diagnostic data to a diagnostic client device.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the diagnostic client device displays the diagnostic data within a user interface.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, the memory and the computer code being further configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus, at least, to:

determine if the one or more attributes of the individual deviate from the one or more baseline attributes;

determine if a deviation is greater than a pre-defined threshold when the one or more attributes of the individual deviate from the one or more baseline attributes; and

transmit an alert indication to the diagnostic client device when the deviation is greater than the pre-defined threshold.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the diagnostic client device displays the alert indication within a user interface.

14. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the other health data comprises genetic data.

15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the one or more personal health records are created based on data that is input by a user.

16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the data that is input by the user comprises at least one of:

data associated with one or more daily events of an individual, data associated with one or more growth measurements of an individual, data associated with one or more medications of an individual, data associated with one or more health milestones of an individual, data associated with one or more diseases, or one or more images.

17. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the apparatus comprises a health data server.

18. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the second data input and the third data input are each stored on a remote data source.

19. An apparatus, comprising:

means for receiving a first data input comprising one or more personal health records, a second data input comprising one or more electronic health records, and a third data input comprising other health data;

means for correlating the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input;

means for creating a data set comprising one or more attributes of an individual and one or more baseline attributes based on the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input;

means for generating diagnostic data, where the diagnostic data comprises the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input; and

means for sending the diagnostic data to a diagnostic client device.

20. A computer program, embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, configured to control a processor to implement a method, the method comprising:

receiving a first data input comprising one or more personal health records, a second data input comprising one or more electronic health records, and a third data input comprising other health data;

correlating the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input;

creating a data set comprising one or more attributes of an individual and one or more baseline attributes based on the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input;

generating diagnostic data, wherein the diagnostic data comprises the first data input, the second data input, and the third data input; and

sending the diagnostic data to a diagnostic client device.
