Automatic etiology sequencing system and method
First Claim
1. A method for determining a primary source of exacerbation of a health of a patient having a chronic illness, the method comprising the steps of:
- collecting sensor data indicative of at least one patient physical condition;
cross-correlating the collected sensor data to validate the collected data;
collecting patient responses to an interactive questionnaire;
identifying a trigger event for a patient health exacerbation based on the collected data and patient responses,wherein the trigger event is determined by a neural-network-based learning module in a computer;
identifying a primary disease associated with the trigger event using an expert system;
andreporting the identified primary disease and the primary source of the exacerbation to a caregiver.

Abstract
A system and related method for identifying a trigger event to a patient health-related exacerbation. The system includes at least one sensor configured to collect data related to the patient health-related exacerbation, an analyzer configured to validate the collected data, a patient interface device configured to receive patient inputs to at least one question, and an identifier device configured to receive the patient inputs and collected data and identify the trigger event. The system may also include an expert system configured to receive the patient inputs and the validated collected data and identify a primary patient disease, and a reporting device configured to generate reports related to the identified primary patient disease, patient inputs, and sensed patient conditions.

13. An automated system configured to determine a primary source of patient health-related exacerbation, the system comprising:
-
at least one sensor to collect data related to the patient health-related exacerbation; an analyzer to validate the collected data; a patient interface device to receive patient inputs to at least one question; an identifier device to receive the patient inputs and collected data and to identify a trigger event for a patient health-related exacerbation, wherein the identifier device includes a neural network-based learning module; and an expert system configured to receive the patient inputs and the collected data and identify a primary patient disease. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method of automatically determining a primary patient disease that causes a patient health-related exacerbation, the method comprising the steps of:
-
collecting sensor data indicative of at least one patient physical condition; cross-correlating the collected sensor data to validate the collected data; collecting patient responses to an interactive questionnaire; and determining the primary patient disease using an expert computer system, the validated collected data, and the patient responses, wherein the primary patient disease is determined by a neural network-based learning module in the computer system and wherein determining the primary patient disease includes determining two or more disease subclasses. - View Dependent Claims (26)
