Apparatus and method for user evaluation

A system for analyzing changes in symptoms of a patient, comprising:

• a display for displaying information to a patient;
• an audio/video capture device for capturing audio/video of a patient performing an action in response to a stimulus presented to the patient, the stimulus presented to the patient comprising one or more instructions provided to the patient in accordance with monitoring of medication administration of the patient, and wherein the action performed in response to the stimulus presented to the patient comprises the action of the patient performing a requested step indicative of proper medication administration, the action performed in response to the stimulus presented to the patient comprises a change in one or more symptoms associated with a disease, the change in one or more of the one or more symptoms being indicative of a change in the overall progression of the disease;
• a processor for determining, in accordance with the captured audio/video, one or more reactions of the patient to the presented stimulus, a correlation between one or more of the determined stored reactions and one or more of the medication administration instructions, the correlation being used to determine efficacy of the medication, and where the efficacy of the medication is further correlated with one or more of the one or more demographic items to determine a query response matrix;
• a storage device for storing the query response matrix;
• a user interaction module for receiving input of a demographic profile of a potential patient comprising one or more demographic items, and for determining a correlation between the input demographic profile and expected medication efficacy, and
• a data output device for presenting the determined correlation.
