Abstract

A graphical user interface provides clinical information in the form of a first health feed and patient-generated information in the form of a second health feed. The graphical user interface may provide improved access to patient-generated information to the provider and improved access to clinical information to the patient or caretaker for the patient. Additional health feeds may include data from peripheral devices, third-party sponsored applications, or other forms of health feedback.

Claims

1. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to generate a graphical user interface that simultaneously displays a plurality of selectable options corresponding to at least a patient and one or more family members of the patient and the simultaneous display of multiple health feeds upon selection of one of the plurality of selectable, the graphical user interface comprising:

a display area configured to simultaneously present at least a first selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the patient and at least a second selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the one or more family members of the patient, wherein selection of at least one of the plurality of selectable options initiates the simultaneous display of a first, second, and third health feed, wherein;

the first health feed comprises clinical information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient comprising one or more of tests performed, treatments administered, clinician notes, and clinician recommendations;

the second health feed comprises patient-generated information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient comprising one or more of weigh-in information, blood sugar monitoring information, personal physical assessments, and food diary entries; and

the third health feed comprises one or more feedback displays comprising one or more of patient-generated notes or notes generated by the one or more family members of the patient, feedback from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient regarding a clinic or a provider, patient-generated requests or requests generated by the one or more family members of the patient, feedback from the clinic or the provider for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient, and provider-generated requests for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient.

2. The graphical user interface of claim 1, wherein the clinical information comprises information inputted by a provider.

3. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer executable instructions embodied thereon, that, when executed, implements a method to provide health feeds for a patient and one or more family members of the patient, the method comprising:

receiving provider inputs regarding the patient or the one or more family members of the patient;

storing the provider inputs regarding the patient or the one or more family members of the patient;

determining provider information from the provider inputs to display to the patient or the one or more family members of the patient as a first health feed, the provider information comprising one or more of tests performed, treatments administered, clinician notes, and clinician recommendations;

receiving inputs from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient;

storing the inputs from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient;

determining patient information to display from the inputs received from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient as a second health feed, the patient information comprising one or more of weigh-in information, blood sugar monitoring information, personal physical assessments, and food diary entries;

determining health information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient based on the provider inputs and the patient or the one or more family members of the patient inputs to display as a third health feed, the health information comprising one or more of patient-generated notes or notes generated by the one or more family members of the patient, feedback from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient regarding a clinic or a provider, patient-generated requests or requests generated by the one or more family members of the patient, feedback from the clinic or the provider for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient, and provider-generated requests for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient; and

simultaneously displaying on a single user interface a plurality of selectable options, at least a first selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the patient and at least a second selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the one or more family members of the patient, wherein selection of at least one of the plurality of selectable options initiates the simultaneous display of the first, second, and third health feeds.

4. The media of claim 3, the method further comprising:

receiving user-generated input for configuring the display of the first health feed, the second health feed, and the third health feed.

5. The media of claim 3, wherein determining health information for the patient based on the provider inputs and the inputs received from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient comprises providing one or more suggestions for patient activity.

6. The media of claim 3, wherein determining health information for the patient based on the provider inputs and the inputs received from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient comprises providing one or more suggestions for clinic activity.

7. The media of claim 3, wherein determining provider information to display to the patient or the one or more family members of the patient further comprises determining based on user-generated rules provider information to display to the patient or the one or more family members of the patient in the first health feed.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer executable instructions embodied thereon, that, when executed, implements a method to provide health feeds for a patient and one or more family members of the patient to a provider, the method comprising:

receiving provider inputs regarding the patient or the one or more family members of the patient;

storing the provider inputs;

determining provider information from the provider inputs to display to the provider as a first health feed, the provider information from the provider inputs comprising one or more of tests performed, treatments administered, clinician notes, and clinician recommendations;

receiving inputs from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient;

storing the inputs received from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient in a respective patient record;

determining patient information based on the inputs received from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient to display to the provider as a second health feed, the patient information comprising one or more of weigh-in information, blood sugar monitoring information, personal physical assessments, and food diary entries;

determining health information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient based on the provider inputs and the patient or the one or more family members of the patient inputs to display as a third health feed, the health information comprising one or more of patient-generated notes or notes generated by the one or more family members of the patient, feedback from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient regarding a clinic or a provider, patient-generated requests or requests generated by the one or more family members of the patient, feedback from the clinic or the provider for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient, and provider-generated requests for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient; and

simultaneously displaying on a single user interface a plurality of selectable options, at least a first selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the patient and at least a second selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the one or more family members of the patient, wherein selection of at least one of the plurality of selectable options initiates the simultaneous display of the first, second, and third health feeds.
