System and method for the automated presentation of system data to, and interaction with, a computer maintained database
First Claim
1. An interactive medico-health data acquisition, storage and analysis system, comprising:
- a display;
an interactive medico-health data acquisition interface displayed on the display;
a memory;
at least one data processor; and
a reporting module to report conclusions to a user, wherein, in operation, the interactive medico-health data acquisition interface prompts a user to provide data sufficient to comprise a comprehensive description of his health status;
wherein the user provided data is simplified so as to remove redundancies and is conceptually organized according to a defined comprehensive medico-health taxonomy;
wherein the data is stored in the memory in a multidimensional data structure having at least three dimensions whose dimensions reflect said taxonomy, said at least three dimensions comprising a systemic field, a functional field and a locational field, and wherein the display of the medico-health data acquisition interface, the prompting of a user, the simplification and organization of data, the storage of data and the reporting to a user is performed by the at least one data processor.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for extracting a set of data from a system user descriptive of the complete health snapshot of the user'"'"'s to interact with a database of numerous other users so as to generate a cluster of similar user'"'"'s exhibiting a similar (within some system defined distance metric) health snapshot. The system guides the user to present his or her data via a complex questionnaire based upon a novel descriptive taxonomy, based upon the principles of “cyberhealth” as opposed to the standard medical “disease oriented” singular cause and effect model. The system generates the cluster of similar users, analyzes the cluster to obtain a ranked list of possible remedies or therapies to assist the user in dealing with health problems. The system further creates a computer networked virtual community of users with common health problems/interests, facilitates online chat, discussion groups, and the trading of health information. Additionally, the system provides listings of and links to health care providers and medical testing laboratories who are able to assist users of the system.

6. A method of medico-health data acquisition, storage, comparison and analysis, comprising:
-
providing a first multidimensional data structure comprising a comprehensive description of a health status of a first human being, said multidimensional data structure having at least three dimensions, comprising a systemic field, a functional field and a locational field; storing said data structure in a database containing a plurality of other multidimensional data structures, each of said multidimensional data structures having at least three dimensions, comprising a systemic field, a functional field and a locational field, and each comprising a comprehensive description of the health status of another human being; measuring a distance between the first multidimensional data structure and the plurality of other multidimensional data structures using a defined distance metric; identifying a cluster of closest other multidimensional data structures within the database; and analyzing the cluster of closest other multidimensional data structures for useful information, wherein the providing, storing, measuring, identifying and analyzing is performed by a data processor. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of expressing a human'"'"'s comprehensive medico-health state as a multidimensional vector in a hyperspace, comprising:
-
articulating a substantially comprehensive description of a human'"'"'s medico-health state using a specialized taxonomy via an interactive medico-health data acquisition interface; and mapping the articulation to a vector in hyperspace whose components are numbers indicating a measure of a presence or an absence of each of a set of medico-health attributes, said vector having a plurality of components, each of said components having at least three dimensions, comprising a systemic field, a functional field and a locational field; wherein said articulating and mapping is performed by a data processor, and wherein the components of said vector constitute a orthogonal basis set for specifying a point in the hyperspace. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A computerized method of comprehensive medico-health data encoding, comprising:
-
encoding a comprehensive description of a human'"'"'s health status as a set of numerical values, said values organized in a plurality of records, each record having at least three fields corresponding to a systemic field, a functional field and a locational field; wherein said encoding is implemented by a data processor in response to data supplied by a user interacting with an automated interactive medico-health data acquisition interface controlled by said data processor that queries a user and elicits said user'"'"'s responses in terms of a defined comprehensive medico-health taxonomy; and wherein the set of numerical values comprise the values of categories or qualities that collectively form a orthogonal basis set in a hyperspace. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A computer storage medium having software code stored thereon, the software code being configured to cause a computer to execute a method for interactive medico-health data acquisition, storage and analysis, the method comprising:
-
displaying a an interactive medico-health data acquisition interface on a display; prompting a user to provide data sufficient to comprise a comprehensive description of his health status via the interface; simplifying the user provided data so as to remove redundancies; conceptually organize the data according to a defined comprehensive medico-health taxonomy; and storing the data in a memory in a multidimensional data structure having at least three dimensions whose dimensions reflect said taxonomy, said at least three dimensions comprising a systemic field, a functional field and a locational field. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
