Computerized medical self-diagnostic and treatment advice system

A computerized method of medical self-diagnosis, the method comprising:

• receiving an input from a patient via direct interactive dialogue between the patient and a computing device;
• associating said input with at least one stored attribute;
• ascertaining a plurality of stored attributes of a medical condition of the patient, wherein a first stored attribute is associated with a cause of disease and a second stored attribute is associated with an anatomic system;
• referencing a data structure based on a specification of at least one of the attributes, wherein the data structure remains unchanged by the receiving an input;
• and
• self-diagnosing of a new and changing health condition of and to the patient without input from a health care provider based on at least one of said specification of the plurality of stored attributes and the data in the data structure and the specification of at least one attribute determined via said direct interactive dialogue.

A computerized method of medical self-diagnosis, the method comprising:

• receiving an input from a patient via direct interactive dialogue between the patient and a computing device;
• associating said input with at least one stored attribute;
• associating a data structure, stored in a memory on the computing device, with the patient, wherein data in the data structure is referenced by specification of a plurality of stored attributes representative of a medical condition of the patient, wherein the data structure remains unchanged by the receiving an input, wherein a first stored attribute corresponds to a cause of disease and a second stored attribute corresponds to an anatomic system;
• ascertaining a plurality of attributes of a first medical condition of the patient;
• ascertaining a plurality of attributes of a second medical condition of the patient;
• referencing the data structure based on a specification of at least one of the plurality of attributes;
• and
• outputting a self-diagnosis of a new and changing health condition of and to the patient without input from a health care provider based on the specification of at least one of said plurality of stored attributes and the data in the data structure and the specification of at least one attribute determined via said direct interactive dialogue.

A computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for performing a computerized process used in medical self-diagnosis, the computer readable code comprising instructions for:

• receiving an input from a patient via direct interactive dialogue between the patient and the computer usable medium;
• associating said input with at least one stored attribute;
• associating a data structure, stored in a memory on a computer with the patient, wherein data in the data structure is referenced by specification of a plurality of stored attributes representative of a medical condition of the patient, wherein the data structure remains unchanged by the receiving an input, wherein a first stored attribute corresponds to a cause of disease and a second stored attribute corresponds to an anatomic system;
• ascertaining a plurality of attributes of a first medical condition of the patient;
• ascertaining a plurality of attributes of a second medical condition of the patient;
• referencing the data structure based on a specification of at least one of the plurality of attributes;
• and
• outputting a self-diagnosis of a new and changing health condition of and to the patient without input from a health care provider based on at least one of said plurality of attributes and the data in the data structure and the specification of at least one attribute determined via said direct interactive dialogue.

A computerized medical self-diagnostic system comprising:

• means for receiving an input from a patient via direct interactive dialogue between the patient and a computing device;
• means for associating said input with at least one stored attribute;
• means for associating a data structure, stored in a memory on a computer, with the attribute associated with the input from the patient, wherein data in the data structure is referenced by specification of a plurality of stored attributes representative of a medical condition of the patient, wherein the data structure remains unchanged by the receiving an input, wherein a first stored attribute corresponds to a cause of disease and a second stored attribute corresponds to an anatomic system;
• means for ascertaining a plurality of attributes of a first medical condition of the patient;
• means for ascertaining a plurality of attributes of a second medical condition of the patient;
• means for referencing the stored data structure based on a specification of at least one of the plurality of attributes;
• and
• means for outputting a self-diagnosis of a new and changing health condition of and to the patient without input from a health care provider based on at least one of said plurality of attributes and the data in the data structure and the specification of at least one attribute determined via said direct interactive dialogue.
