Abstract
The present invention generally relates to methods for determining the degree of improvement after a therapeutic procedure. The method can involve determining a baseline measurement prior to conducting a therapeutic procedure, conducting the therapeutic procedure, and determining a post-therapy measurement after conducting the therapeutic procedure. The method further involves comparing the post-therapy measurement to the baseline measurement, thereby determining the degree of improvement after conducting the therapeutic procedure.
Claims19
A method for determining improvement of a physiological property after a therapeutic procedure, the method comprising:
- determining a baseline measurement of a physiological property prior to conducting a therapeutic procedure;
- conducting the therapeutic procedure;
- determining a post-therapy measurement of a physiological property after conducting the therapeutic procedure;
- and
- comparing the post-therapy measurement to the baseline measurement, thereby determining an improvement of a physiological property after conducting the therapeutic procedure.
A system for determining improvement of a physiological property after a therapeutic procedure, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium instructions that when executed cause the computer to:
- determine a baseline measurement of a physiological property prior to conducting a therapeutic procedure;
- determine a post-therapy measurement of a physiological property after conducting the therapeutic procedure;
- and
- compare the post-therapy treatment to the baseline measurement, thereby determining the improvement of a physiological property after conducting the therapeutic procedure.
