Abstract
Patient assistant systems are provided. In various embodiments, health data of a user is read from one or more data source. A cohort of the user is determined based on a primary diagnosis of the user. The health data of the user includes the primary diagnosis. A co-morbidity of the primary diagnosis within the cohort is determined. One or more predictor of the co-morbidity within the cohort is determined. Assistance information is provided to the user based on the one or more predictor. The assistance information includes the predictor and one or more recommendation to mitigate the co-morbidity.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- reading, by a processor, health data of a user from one or more data source;
- determining, by the processor, a cohort of the user based on a primary diagnosis of the user, the health data of the user comprising the primary diagnosis;
- determining, by the processor, a co-morbidity of the primary diagnosis within the cohort;
- determining, by the processor, one or more predictor of the co-morbidity within the cohort;
- providing assistance information to the user based on the one or more predictor, the assistance information comprising the predictor and one or more recommendation to mitigate the co-morbidity.
A system comprising:
- a computing node comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of the computing node to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- reading health data of a user from one or more data source;
- determining a cohort of the user based on a primary diagnosis of the user, the health data of the user comprising the primary diagnosis;
- determining a co-morbidity of the primary diagnosis within the cohort;
- determining one or more predictor of the co-morbidity within the cohort;
- providing assistance information to the user based on the one or more predictor, the assistance information comprising the predictor and one or more recommendation to mitigate the co-morbidity.
A computer program product for providing patient assistance information, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- reading health data of a user from one or more data source;
- determining a cohort of the user based on a primary diagnosis of the user, the health data of the user comprising the primary diagnosis;
- determining a co-morbidity of the primary diagnosis within the cohort;
- determining one or more predictor of the co-morbidity within the cohort;
- providing assistance information to the user based on the one or more predictor, the assistance information comprising the predictor and one or more recommendation to mitigate the co-morbidity.
