Abstract

Systems and methods provide automatic messaging to a client on behalf of a healthcare treatment professional by setting up one or more computer implemented agents, each specializing in a disease state, with rules to respond to a client condition; during run-time, receiving a communication from the client and in response selecting one or more computer implemented agents to respond to the communication; and automatically generating a response to be rendered on a client mobile device to encourage healthy behavior.

Claims

1. A system to monitor a client, comprising:

a mobile appliance; and

one or more computer implemented agents each specializing in a health condition, each agent communicating with another computer implemented agent, the client or the treatment professional, wherein at least one computer implemented agent sends an instruction promoting healthy client behavior.

2. The system of claim 1, comprising computer readable code to:

collect information on the client; and

select a treatment template based on treatment plan for people with similar characteristics to the client.

3. The system of claim 1, comprising a camera to automatically collect calorie intake of an item to be consumed and calorie detection code.

4. The system of claim 3, comprising code to automatically identify volume and content of the item.

5. The system of claim 3, comprising code to automatically determine if the item is part of a recommended nutritional guideline and to send messages suggesting alternatives that replace or supplement the item to at least meet the recommended nutritional guideline.

6. The system of claim 1, comprising at least one Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) device to collect client condition.

7. The system of claim 1, comprising code to model patient movements and convert the patient movements into energy consumption.

8. The system of claim 1, comprising code to model calorie usage from exercises and adapt client diet in response to the exercises.

9. The system of claim 1, comprising code to accumulate reward points for the client to encourage healthy activities.

10. The system of claim 1, comprising code to compare client progress with progress for people with a similar health condition to the client and send normative messages to improve client progress.

17. The method of claim 1, comprising generating a diet plan personalized to the client and meeting a predetermined dietary guideline.

18. The method of claim 17, comprising modeling calorie usage from client exercises and adapting a client diet plan in response to the exercises.

11. A method to provide automatic messaging to a client on behalf of a healthcare treatment professional, comprising:

setting up one or more computer implemented agents, each specializing in a health condition, with rules to respond to a client condition;

during run-time, receiving a communication from the client and in response selecting one or more computer implemented agents to respond to the communication; and

automatically generating a response to be rendered on a client mobile device to encourage healthy behavior.

12. The method of claim 11, comprising:

selecting a treatment template based on prior treatment for people with similar health condition;

generating treatment plan automatically for the client.

13. The method of claim 11, comprising automatically collecting calorie intake of an item to be consumed with a processor controlled camera and calorie detection code.

14. The method of claim 13, comprising automatically identifying volume and content of the item.

15. The method of claim 13, comprising automatically determining if the item is in a recommended nutritional guideline and sending messages suggesting alternatives that replace or supplement the item to at least meet the nutritional guideline.

16. The method of claim 11, comprising automatically collecting data on treatment plan compliance using at least one Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) device.

19. The method of claim 11, comprising accumulating reward points for the client to encourage healthy activities.

20. The method of claim 11, comprising comparing client progress to people with similar health condition and improving client progress through normative messaging.
