Care plan administration using thresholds

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code that, when executed by a processor, performs an operation for administering a care plan for a patient, the operation comprising:

• receiving, at a care plan management system, a care plan specifying a plurality of assigned tasks for the patient to perform, timing information specifying when each of the plurality of assigned tasks should be performed, and a plurality of observation metrics that each indicate a type of biometric data to monitor;
• identifying, using the care plan management system, one or more monitoring devices available to collect biometric data related to the patient to compare against observation metrics specified in the care plan;
• selecting a first monitoring device from among the one or more monitoring devices, and associating the first monitoring device with the patient using an inventory management component of the care plan management system;
• associating a mobile device with the care plan using the inventory management component, wherein the mobile device facilitates communication between the a first monitoring device and the care plan management system;
• transmitting the care plan from the care plan management system to the mobile device;
• configuring, using the mobile device and based on the care plan, the first monitoring device for use in collecting biometric data, the configuration comprising:
• transmitting, from the mobile device to the first monitoring device, information related to at least one threshold condition specified in the care plan;
• collecting biometric data using the first monitoring device;
• upon determining, using the first monitoring device, that the collected biometric data satisfies the at least one threshold condition specified in the care plan, treating the patient by initiating at least one treatment plan specified in the care plan and corresponding to the satisfied at least one threshold condition, comprising:
• altering a graphic user interface of the mobile device to ask the patient for information related to possible relevant symptoms according to the satisfied threshold condition, based on the care plan;
• collecting, using the mobile device, symptom information describing one or more symptoms being experienced by the patient;
• determining a first treatment action to perform in administering the treatment plan, based on the symptom information, the collected biometric data, and information relating to the patient's history of compliance with actions relating to administering the treatment plan;
• and
• performing the first treatment action at the mobile device;
• receiving the biometric data at the mobile device from the first monitoring device;
• aggregating the biometric data at the mobile device, and transmitting the aggregated data from the mobile device to the care plan management system, wherein transmitting the aggregated data to the care plan management system consumes less bandwidth than transmitting the biometric data;
• and
• modifying, at the care plan management system, the care plan, and in response automatically transmitting the modified care plan to the mobile device.

A system for administering a care plan for a patient, comprising:

• a first monitoring device to collect biometric data to compare against observation metrics specified in the care plan;
• a care plan management system;
• and
• a mobile device that facilitates communication between the first monitoring device and the care plan management system,
• wherein the care plan management system is configured to:
• receive a care plan specifying a plurality of assigned tasks for the patient to perform, timing information specifying when each of the plurality of assigned tasks should be performed, and a plurality of observation metrics that each indicate a type of biometric data to monitor;
• identify one or more monitoring devices available to collect biometric data related to the patient to compare against observation metrics specified in the care plan, and select the first monitoring device from among the one or more monitoring devices;
• associate the first monitoring device with the patient using an inventory management component of the care plan management system;
• associate the mobile device with the care plan using the inventory management component of the care plan management system;
• transmit the care plan from the care plan management system to the mobile device;
• modify the care plan, and in response automatically transmit the modified care plan to the mobile device;
• and
• configure, using the mobile device and based on the care plan, the first monitoring device for use in collecting biometric data, the configuration comprising:
• transmitting, from the mobile device to the first monitoring device, information related to at least one threshold condition specified in the care plan;
• wherein the mobile device is configured to:
• receive biometric data collected using the first monitoring device;
• upon determining, using the first monitoring device, that the collected biometric data satisfies the at least one threshold condition specified in the care plan, treat the patient by initiating at least one treatment plan specified in the care plan and corresponding to the satisfied at least one threshold condition, comprising:
• altering a graphic user interface of the mobile device to ask the patient for information related to possible relevant symptoms according to the satisfied threshold condition, based on the care plan;
• collecting, using the mobile device, symptom information describing one or more symptoms being experienced by the patient;
• determining a first treatment action to perform in administering the treatment plan, based on the symptom information, the collected biometric data, and information relating to the patient's history of compliance with actions relating to administering the treatment plan;
• and
• performing the first treatment action at the mobile device;
• and
• aggregate the received biometric data, and transmit the aggregated data from the mobile device to the care plan management system, wherein transmitting the aggregated data to the care plan management system consumes less bandwidth than transmitting the biometric data.
