Abstract

Embodiments presented herein provide a dynamically adaptive care plan. More specifically, embodiments presented herein describe techniques for modifying a care plan assigned to a patient based on data observed from the patient. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, data corresponding to one or more types of biometric data for the patient is received. One or more reported symptoms for the patient is received. The care plan includes one or more conditions corresponding to the one or more reported symptoms. Upon determining that at least one of the received data satisfy at least one of the biometric thresholds and the one or more reported symptoms satisfy at least one of the conditions, an event rule for modifying the care plan is identified. The care plan is modified based on the event rule.

Claims

1. A method for modifying a care plan assigned to a patient in response to data observed from the patient, the method comprising:

receiving data corresponding to one or more types of biometric data for the patient, wherein the care plan includes one or more biometric thresholds corresponding to the one or more types of biometric data;

receiving one or more reported symptoms for the patient, wherein the care plan includes one or more conditions corresponding to the one or more reported symptoms;

upon determining that at least one of (i) the received data satisfy at least one of the biometric thresholds and (ii) the one or more reported symptoms satisfy at least one of the one or more conditions, identifying an event rule for modifying the care plan based on the received data and the one or more reported symptoms; and

modifying the care plan based on the event rule.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the event rule specifies one or more second tasks and one or more second conditions to add to the care plan, and wherein modifying the care plan comprises, adding the one or more second tasks and thresholds to the care plan.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

upon determining that subsequently observed biometrics or reported symptoms satisfies one or more of the second conditions, identifying an event rule corresponding to the satisfied second conditions.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the event rule corresponding to the satisfied second conditions specifies a care provider to contact.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising, notifying the patient of the modification to the care plan.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more types of biometric data includes at least one of a blood pressure measure, a weight measure, or a heart rate measure of a patient.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to modifying the care plan based on the event rule:

evaluating past treatment history of the patient; and

identifying one or more second tasks to add to the care plan based on the past treatment history.

8. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed on a processor, performs an operation for modifying a care plan assigned to a patient in response to data observed from the patient, the operation comprising:

receiving data corresponding to one or more types of biometric data for the patient, wherein the care plan includes one or more biometric thresholds corresponding to the one or more types of biometric data;

receiving one or more reported symptoms for the patient, wherein the care plan includes one or more conditions corresponding to the one or more reported symptoms;

upon determining that at least one of (i) the received data satisfy at least one of the biometric thresholds and (ii) the one or more reported symptoms satisfy at least one of the one or more conditions, identifying an event rule for modifying the care plan based on the received data and the one or more reported symptoms; and

modifying the care plan based on the event rule.

9. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the event rule specifies one or more second tasks and one or more second conditions to add to the care plan, and wherein modifying the care plan comprises, adding the one or more second tasks and thresholds to the care plan.

10. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, wherein the operation further comprises:

upon determining that subsequently observed biometrics or reported symptoms satisfies one or more of the second conditions, identifying an event rule corresponding to the satisfied second conditions.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the event rule corresponding to the satisfied second conditions specifies a care provider to contact.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the event rule specifies one or more of the first tasks to remove from the care plan, and wherein modifying the care plan comprises, removing the one or more of the first tasks from the care plan.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the one or more types of biometric data includes at least one of a blood pressure measure, a weight measure, or a heart rate measure of a patient.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the operation further comprises, prior to modifying the care plan based on the event rule:

evaluating past treatment history of the patient; and

identifying one or more second tasks to add to the care plan based on the past treatment history.

15. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing one or more application programs configured to perform an operation modifying a care plan assigned to a patient in response to data observed from the patient, the operation comprising;

receiving data corresponding to one or more types of biometric data for the patient, wherein the care plan includes one or more biometric thresholds corresponding to the one or more types of biometric data,

receiving one or more reported symptoms for the patient, wherein the care plan includes one or more conditions corresponding to the one or more reported symptoms,

upon determining that at least one of (i) the received data satisfy at least one of the biometric thresholds and (ii) the one or more reported symptoms satisfy at least one of the one or more conditions, identifying an event rule for modifying the care plan based on the received data and the one or more reported symptoms, and

modifying the care plan based on the event rule.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the event rule specifies one or more second tasks and one or more second conditions to add to the care plan, and wherein modifying the care plan comprises, adding the one or more second tasks and thresholds to the care plan.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the operation further comprises:

upon determining that subsequently observed biometrics or reported symptoms satisfies one or more of the second conditions, identifying an event rule corresponding to the satisfied second conditions.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the event rule corresponding to the satisfied second conditions specifies a care provider to contact.

19. The system of claim 15, wherein the one or more types of biometric data includes at least one of a blood pressure measure, a weight measure, or a heart rate measure of a patient.

20. The system of claim 15, wherein the operation further comprises, prior to modifying the care plan based on the event rule:

evaluating past treatment history of the patient; and

identifying one or more second tasks to add to the care plan based on the past treatment history.
