Abstract

A device receives medical data associated with a user of the device, and creates a body template based on the received medical data, where the body template includes layers that are representations of a human body associated with the user. The device also displays the body template to the user, where the user is capable of manipulating one or more layers of the body template in order to review the medical data.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

generating, by a user device, a graphical user interface for presenting a human body template including a plurality of system-level layers representative of anatomical systems of a user;

obtaining, by the user device, first medical information associated with the user and corresponding to a first bodily location on a first system-level layer;

obtaining, by the user device, second medical information associated with the user and corresponding to a second bodily location on a second system-level layer;

receiving, via the graphical user interface, selection of the first system-level layer for display;

displaying, via a display of the user device and responsive to the selection of the first system-level layer, the first system-level layer including a first visual indicator corresponding to the first bodily location;

receiving, via the graphical user interface, selection of the first visual indicator;

presenting, via the graphical user interface and responsive to the selection of the first visual indicator, the first medical information; and

presenting, via the graphical user interface, superimposed representative bodily images corresponding to changes in a physical stature of the user as a function of time.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying, responsive to receiving a request for a medical record of the presented first medical information, at least a portion of the medical record via the graphical user interface, the medical record identifying a diagnosed medical condition of the user and including an indication whether the medical record is secured and nontransferable or unsecured and transferable.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

presenting, via the graphical user interface and responsive to receiving a request for one or more medical records of the presented first medical information, a drop-down menu including selectable search criteria corresponding to the one or more medical records, the one or more medical records identifying at least one diagnosed medical condition of the user.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, via the graphical user interface, selection of the second system-level layer for display after the selection of the first system-level layer for display;

removing, responsive to the selection of the second system-level layer, the first system-level layer from the display; and

displaying the second system-level layer, including a second visual indicator corresponding to the second location, via the display without display of the second medical information.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

receiving, via the graphical user interface, selection of the second visual indicator; and

presenting, via the graphical user interface and responsive to the selection of the second visual indicator, the second medical information with the second visual indicator.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the graphical user interface for presenting the human body template including the plurality of system-level layers representative of anatomical systems of the user, comprises generating the plurality of system-level layers to include a top layer, the method further comprising:

displaying, via the display and responsive to the selection of the top layer, the top layer including the first visual indicator corresponding to the first bodily location and a second visual indicator corresponding to the second location.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein generating the plurality of system-level layers to include a top layer comprises generating the top layer to be representative of a skin layer.

8. A device comprising:

a display;

a memory to store instructions; and

a processor to execute the instructions to;

generate a graphical user interface for presenting a human body template including a plurality of system-level layers representative of anatomical systems of a user,

obtain first medical information, associated with the user, corresponding to a first bodily location on a first system-level layer,

obtain second medical information, associated with the user, corresponding to a second location on a second system-level layer,

receive, via the graphical user interface, selection of the first system-level layer for display,

display, via the display and responsive to the selection of the first system-level layer, the first system-level layer including a first visual indicator corresponding to the first bodily location,

receive, via the graphical user interface, selection of the first visual indicator, present, via the graphical user interface and responsive to the selection of the first visual indicator, the first medical information, and

present, via the graphical user interface, superimposed representative bodily images corresponding to changes in a physical stature of the user as a function of time.

9. The device of claim 8, wherein the processor is to execute the instructions to display, responsive to receiving a request for a medical record of the presented first medical information, at least a portion of the medical record via the graphical user interface, the medical record identifying a diagnosed medical condition of the user and including an indication whether the medical record is secured and nontransferable or unsecured and transferable.

10. The device of claim 9, wherein the processor is to execute the instructions to present, via the graphical user interface and responsive to receiving a request for one or more medical records of the presented first medical information, a drop-down menu including selectable search criteria corresponding to the one or more medical records, the one or more medical records identifying at least one diagnosed medical condition of the user.

11. The device of claim 8, wherein the processor is to further execute the instructions to:

receive, via the graphical user interface, selection of the second system-level layer for display after the selection of the first system-level layer for display;

remove, responsive to the selection of the second system-level layer, the first system-level layer from the display; and

display the second system-level layer, including a second visual indicator corresponding to the second location, via the display without display of the second medical information.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the processor is to further execute the instructions to:

receive, via the graphical user interface, selection of the second visual indicator; and

present, via the graphical user interface and responsive to the selection of the second visual indicator, the second medical information with the second visual indicator.

13. The device of claim 8, wherein, when generating a graphical user interface for presenting a human body template including a plurality of system-level layers representative of anatomical systems of a user, the processor is to further execute the instructions to:

generate the plurality of system-level layers to include a top layer, and

display via the display and responsive to the selection of the top layer, the top layer including the first visual indicator corresponding to the first bodily location and a second visual indicator corresponding to the second location.

14. The device of claim 13, wherein, when generating the plurality of system-level layers to include a top layer, the processor is to execute the instructions further to generate the top layer to be representative of a skin layer.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the processor to:

generate a graphical user interface of a user device for presenting a human body template including a plurality of system-level layers representative of anatomical systems of a user;
