1. A system comprising:
- a first server storing (i) knowledge data in a knowledge base and (ii) information data in an information base, wherein an ontology specifies how said knowledge data applies to one or more specific disease conditions and a patient population; and
a second server configured to communicate with one or more selected devices of a plurality of patient devices via a network, said second server including (i) a rendering engine configured to (a) generate one or more queries in response to both said knowledge data and said information data and (b) transmit said queries to said selected devices and (ii) a feedback engine configured to (a) receive one or more responses from said selected devices, (b) generate feedback data by processing said responses and (c) to update said information base with said feedback data, wherein said knowledge base comprises (i) a plurality of multi-dimensional models corresponding to a plurality of diseases and (ii) a plurality of location pointers that define a plurality of locations of a plurality of aspects of said diseases in said multi-dimensional models.

Abstract
A system and method are described for processing medical knowledge. The system comprises a database, a rendering engine and a feedback engine. The database may include medical knowledge sources, wherein an ontology specifies how the medical knowledge sources apply to specific disease conditions and patient populations. The rendering engine may convert medical knowledge obtained from the medical knowledge sources to a format suitable for a presentation to a patient on a selected patient device. The feedback engine may receive feedback from a plurality of patients and to provide feedback data to the database and the knowledge sources.

10. A method for processing medical knowledge, comprising the steps of:
-
(A) storing both (i) knowledge data in a knowledge base and (ii) information data in an information base in a first server, wherein an ontology specifies how said knowledge data applies to one or more specific disease conditions and a patient population; (B) generating one or more queries in response to both said knowledge data and said information data in a rendering engine of a second server; (C) transmitting said queries via a network to one or more selected devices of a plurality of patient devices; (D) receiving one or more responses via said network from each of said selected devices; (E) generating feedback data by processing said responses in a feedback engine of said second server; and (F) updating said information base with said feedback data, wherein said knowledge base comprises (i) a plurality of multi-dimensional models corresponding to a plurality of diseases and (ii) a plurality of location pointers that define a plurality of locations of a plurality of aspects of said diseases in said multi-dimensional models. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system comprising:
-
means for storing both (i) knowledge data in a knowledge base and (ii) information data in an information base, wherein an ontology specifies how said knowledge data applies to one or more specific disease conditions and a patient population; and means for communicating with one or more selected devices of a plurality of patient devices via a network, including (i) a rendering engine configured to (a) generate one or more queries in response to both said knowledge data and said information data and (b) transmit said queries to said selected devices and (ii) a feedback engine configured to (a) receive one or more responses from said selected devices, (b) generate feedback data by processing said responses and (c) to update said information base with said feedback data, wherein said knowledge base comprises (i) a plurality of multi-dimensional models corresponding to a plurality of diseases and (ii) a plurality of location pointers that define a plurality of locations of a plurality of aspects of said diseases in said multi-dimensional models.
