Disease simulation system and method
First Claim
1. An electronic device for outputting a signal according to at least one control parameter value of a patient, comprising:
- a data recording device configured to receive a first disease control parameter value;
a memory comprising one or more optimal disease control parameter values, one or more self-care values of the patient, one or more optimal self-care values and one or more scaling factors;
a microprocessor, in communication with the data recording device and the memory, programmed to calculate a value based upon the one or more self-care values, the one or more optimal disease control parameter values and the scaling factors; and
a display configured to display information according to the calculated value, wherein the information displayed enables the patient to select appropriate self care actions and the disease control parameter values are related to the patient self-care of a chronic or persistent condition being managed by the patient.

Abstract
A system and method for predicting the effect of patient self-care actions on a disease control parameter. A future disease control parameter value X(tj) at time tj is determined from a prior disease control parameter value X(ti) at time ti based on an optimal control parameter value R(tj) at time tj, the difference between the prior disease control parameter value X(ti) and an optimal control parameter value R(ti) at time ti, and a set of differentials between patient self-care parameters having patient self-care values SM(ti) at time ti and optimal self-care parameters having optimal self-care values OM(ti) at time ti. The differentials are multiplied by corresponding scaling factors KM. The system includes an input device for entering the patient self-care values SM(ti). A memory stores the optimal control parameter values R(ti) and R(tj), the prior disease control parameter value X(ti), the optimal self-care values OM(ti), and the scaling factors KM. A processor in communication with the input device and memory calculates the future disease control parameter value X(tj). A display is connected to the processor to display the future disease control parameter value X(tj) to a patient.
