System and method for predicting menopause symptoms and initiating interventions

A system for predicting menopause-related symptoms using multi-modal data and providing interventions, the system comprising:

• a biometric module configured to receive a plurality of biometric data streams of a user, including physiological measurements including heart rate, heart rate variability, body temperature, and blood oxygen saturation;
• a context module configured to receive contextual data streams, including at least one of an ambient temperature, a time of day, a sleep stage information, and menstrual cycle information of the user;
• a journal module configured to:
• receive from the user, a journal input including textual information describing the user's feelings, and/or the user's environmental context information;
• natural language process the journal input, to identify natural language features including one or more of emotional tone, symptom-intensity descriptors, and temporal references;
• a prognostic module configured to:
• access a personalized biometric baseline, wherein the personalized biometric baseline is previously established based on the plurality of biometric data streams;
• monitor the plurality of biometric data streams and contextual data streams for deviations from the personalized biometric baseline;
• detect, using a predictive model, a pattern of deviation from the personalized biometric baseline correlating with an impending menopause-related symptom;
• predict, based on detecting the pattern of deviation, and the natural language features identified from the journal input, an occurrence of the menopause-related symptom a prediction horizon before the menopause-related symptom begins;
• and
• an intervention module configured to, responsive to the predicting, initiate an intervention action, wherein the intervention action comprises at least one of:
• presenting to the user a notification of the predicted menopause-related symptom, transmitting a control signal to an external device to mitigate the menopause-related symptom, and presenting a recommendation to the user to perform a mitigating activity;
• wherein the menopause-related symptom includes one of a hot flash, night sweat, insomnia or sleep disturbance, mood swing, anxiety episode, heart palpitations, and fatigue.

A computer program product comprising computer readable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable instructions when executed by a computer system comprising a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive a plurality of biometric data streams of a user, including physiological measurements including heart rate, heart rate variability, body temperature, and blood oxygen saturation;
• receive contextual data streams, including ambient temperature, and menstrual cycle information of the user;
• receive from the user, a journal input including textual information describing the user's feelings, and/or the user's environmental context information;
• natural language process the journal input, to identify natural language features including one or more of emotional tone, symptom-intensity descriptors, and temporal references;
• access a personalized biometric baseline, wherein the personalized biometric baseline is previously established based on the plurality of biometric data streams;
• monitor the plurality of biometric data streams and contextual data streams for deviations from the personalized biometric baseline;
• detect, using a predictive model, a pattern of deviation from the personalized biometric baseline correlating with an impending menopause-related symptom;
• predict, based on detecting the pattern of deviation, and the natural language features identified from the journal input, an occurrence of the menopause-related symptom a prediction horizon before the menopause related symptom begins;
• and
• responsive to the predicting, initiate an intervention action, wherein the intervention action comprises at least one of:
• presenting to the user a notification of the predicted menopause-related symptom, transmitting a control signal to an external device to mitigate the menopause-related symptom, and presenting a recommendation to the user to perform a mitigating activity;
• wherein the menopause-related symptom includes one of a hot flash, night sweat, insomnia or sleep disturbance, mood swing, anxiety episode, heart palpitations, and fatigue.
