System and methods for chronic disease management and health assessment
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing a chronic disease in a patient, comprising:
- receiving first data and second data at a patient communication terminal, the first data being representative of the patient'"'"'s physical condition and the second data being representative of the patient'"'"'s readiness to modify behavior;
transmitting the first and second data over a communication channel to a disease management server;
generating an output signal at the server representative of a disease treatment action based on the first and second data;
transmitting the output signal over the communication channel to the patient communication terminal; and
displaying the output signal at the patient communication terminal.

Abstract
The systems and methods are provided to enable consistent lifestyle modifications for chronic disease management. More specifically, systems and methods are directed to performing subjective health assessments (HAs) and objective stage-of-change (SOC) status evaluations of a patient'"'"'s health based on data collected from the patient. These data are collected directly from the patient via the Internet and/or portable communications devices and maintained electronically for easy access by both the patient and health care providers.

4. A system for managing a chronic disease in a patient, comprising:
-
a portable wireless terminal, comprising;
an input device for receiving first data representative of the patient'"'"'s physical condition and second data representative of the patient'"'"'s readiness to modify behavior;
a first transmitter for transmitting data over a wireless channel;
a first receiver for receiving data over the wireless channel;
an output device for displaying data to a user; and
a software component for commanding the first transmitter to transmit the first and second data over the wireless channel and for commanding the output device to display data from the first receiver; and
a disease management terminal, comprising;
a second receiver for receiving the first and second data;
a server application that generates an output signal representative of a disease treatment action based on received first and second data; and
a second transmitter for transmitting the output signal over the wireless channel to the portable wireless terminal for display on the output device. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
