Computer architecture and process of patient generation, evolution, and simulation for computer based testing system
First Claim
1. A computer system for training a user to treat a simulated patient having at least one present health state, comprising:
- (a) a computer generating the simulated patient and a history for the simulated patient, wherein said generating comprises evolving the simulated patient backwards in time to generate a progression of health states and risk factors traversed by the simulated patient from a specified health condition to a normal health condition; and
(b) the computer iterating through a prescribed treatment protocol prescribed by said user, wherein said iterating comprises evolving the simulated patient forward from at least one present health state to at least one subsequent health state responsive to at least one of time and at least one intervention input by the user, and using parallel networks of health states to model transitions that occur among a set of mutually exclusive health conditions in at least one body part comprising at least one of the following interactions;
(1) independent interaction between parallel networks so that patient evolution between first and second parallel networks are unrelated to each other;
(2) unilateral interaction between the parallel networks so that patient evolution on a first parallel network is unrelated to patient evolution on a second parallel network, and patient evolution on the second parallel network is related to the patient evolution on the first parallel network; and
(3) mutually dependent interaction between the parallel networks so that patient evolution between the first and second parallel networks are related to each other.

Abstract
A computer implemented simulation and evaluation method simulates interventions to a patient by a user, and evaluates the interventions responsive to predetermined criteria and the interventions. The method includes defining a test area to evaluate the user to at least one of predetermined criteria and a user profile, selecting genetic information of the patient responsive to the test area, and generating a patient history responsive to the test area and the genetic information. The method also includes receiving at least one intervention input by the user, and evaluating the user responsive to the intervention and predetermined criteria.
