Health management system

A method for automatically scheduling medical appointments, comprising:

• outputting, by a computing system, one or more requests for audio input to a user;
• receiving, by the computing system, the audio input in response to each of the one or more requests;
• extracting, by the computing system, patient sympton information from the audio input;
• recieving, by the computing system, a plurality of clinical guidelines, the plurality of clinical guidelines comprising at least one of natural langugae text or a flow chart;
• extracting, by the computing system, a plurality of guideline key phrases from the plurality of clinical guidelines;
• normalizing, by the computing system, the plurality of guideline key phrases to one or more normalized guideline expressions;
• applying, by the computing system, guideline information to the extracted patient sympton information to determine one or more probable health conditions for the user;
• determining, by the computing system, a time allotment for a medical appointment for the user based at least on the one or more probable health conditions for the user;
• and
• providing, by the computing system, a suggested time slot for the medical appointment with a health care provider for the time allotment for the medical appointment.

• providing, by the computing system, a suggested time slot for the medical appointment with a health care provider for the time allotment for the medical appointment;
• determining one or more clinical inferences based on the extracted patient symptom information;
• identifying one or more relevant clinical guidelines based on the one or more clinical inferences and at least one of electronic health data associated with the user, epidemiological data, or local area data, wherein the guideline information comprises the one or more relevant clinical guidelines;
• and
• determining, by the computing system, missing information based on application of the guideline information to the extracted patient sympton information, wherein at least one of the one or more requests are for the missing information.

A computing system for automatically scheduling medical appointments, the computing system comprising:

• processing circuitry coupled to a memory;
• a dialog manager executing on the processing circuitry and configured to output one or more requests for audio input to a user and receive the audio input in response to each of the one or more requests;
• a speech analysis module executing on the processing circuitry and configured to extract patient symptom information from the audio input;
• a machine learning engine executing on the processing circuitry and configured to apply guideline information to the extracted patient symptom information to determine one or more probable health conditions for the user;
• and
• a resource management module executing on the processing circuitry and configured to:
• determine a time allotment for a medical appointment for the user based at least on the one or more probable health conditions for the user, wherein to determine the time allotment for the medical appointment the resouce management module is configured to:
• determine an estimated time allotment for the medical appointment based on the one or more probable health conditions,
• determine one or more features of user speech by the user from the audio input,
• obtain respective time allotment modifiers for the one or more features of the user speech by the user, and
• modify the estimated time allotment based on the respective time allotment modifiers for the one or more features of the user speech by the user to determine the time allotment for the medical appointment;
• and
• provide a suggested time slot for the medical appointment with a health care provider for the time allotment for the medical appointment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for causing processing circuitry of a computing system to perform operations comprising:

• output one or more requests for audio input to a user;
• receive the audio input in response to each of the one or more requests;
• extract patient symptom information from the audio input;
• apply guideline information to the extracted patient symptom information to determine one or more probable health conditions for the user;
• determine a time allotment for a medical appointment for the user based at least on the one or more probable health conditions for the user, wherein to determine the time allotment for the medical appointment the processing circuitry is configured to:
• determine an estimated time allotment for the medical appointment based on the one or more probable health conditions,
• determine one or more features of user speech by the user from the audio input,
• obtain respective time allotment modifiers for the one or more features of the user speech by the user, and
• modify the estimated time allotment based on the respective time allotment modifiers for the one or more features of the user speech by the user to determine the time allotment for the medical appointment;
• and
• provide a suggested time slot for the medical appointment with a health care provider for the time allotment for the medical appointment.
