Adaptive Medical Testing
First Claim
1. A method performed by at least one computer processor executing computer program instructions stored on at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, the method comprising:
- (A) receiving first sensor data from a patient via a sensor substantially in real-time while a test is being performed on the patient for at least one of diagnosing a disease of the patient and assessing an outcome of the patient,wherein the first sensor data comprises at least one of accelerometer data received via the sensor, velocity data received via the sensor, and pressure data received via the sensor,wherein the test is represented by test data stored in the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium;
wherein the test data comprises method data representing a method of the test, content data representing content of the test, and domain data representing a domain of the test;
(B) receiving data obtained outside the test;
(C) identifying an association between the sensor data and the data obtained outside the test;
(D) modifying at least one of the method data, the content data, and the domain data, substantially in real-time and while the test is being performed on the patient, based on the identified association, to produce modified test data representing a modified form of the test and stored in the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
(E) receiving second sensor data from the patient via the sensor substantially in real-time while the modified test is being performed on the patient.

Abstract
A computer-based system and method improves the efficiency (quality and/or cost) of healthcare services provided to a patient by dynamically adapting the tests that are performed on the patient. Such adaptation may include one or both of selecting the tests to be performed and modifying the contents and/or methods of the tests to be performed. Tests may be adapted based on a wide variety of data, such as any one or more of sensor data, coordination data, clinical data, contextual data, test outcome data, clinical outcome data, and epoch of care data. In particular, tests may be adapted based on data in a model of an epoch of care of the patient so that the tests are selected and/or modified in ways that are tailored to the patient'"'"'s epoch of care.
