Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, and systems for providing disease management. In one implementation, a system develops a treatment recommendation for a patient based on patient data. The system may receive patient data, execute a basic model of the physiological system of the patient to generate a modified model for the patient based on the patient data, perform a statistical analysis of the patient data to detect data excursions of the parameter values; use the modified model to determine factors causing the data excursions; and use the model to develop a treatment recommendation to ameliorate negative effects of the disease.
Claims25
A system for management of a patient having a disease, comprising:
- an input device for receiving patient data;
- a transmitter for transmitting the received patient data from the input device;
- and
- a disease management server, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving the transmitted patient data;
- a processor for:
- executing a basic model of a physiological system of the patient to generate a modified model for the patient based on the patient data, wherein the basic model comprises determining a rate of change in blood glucose level of the patient over a time interval based on food intake, insulin concentration in blood, and blood glucose inventory;
- performing a statistical analysis of the patient data to detect data excursions of values of first parameters of the physiological system;
- using the modified model to estimate an effect of the data excursions on second parameters of the physiological system;
- using the modified model to determine factors causing the data excursions;
- and
- using the modified model to develop a treatment recommendation to ameliorate negative effects of the disease;
- and
- an output device for outputting the treatment recommendation.
A nontransitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method for generating treatment recommendations for a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving transmitted patient data;
- executing a basic model of a physiological system of the patient to generate a modified model for the patient based on the patient data, wherein the basic model comprises determining a rate of change in blood glucose level of the patient over a time interval based on food intake, insulin concentration in blood, and blood glucose inventory;
- performing a statistical analysis of the patient data to detect data excursions of values of first parameters of the physiological system;
- using the modified model to estimate an effect of the data excursions on second parameters of the physiological system;
- using the modified model to determine factors causing the data excursions;
- using the modified model to develop a plurality of treatment recommendations to ameliorate negative effects of the disease;
- and
- outputting the treatment recommendations.
A computer-implemented method for generating treatment recommendations for a patient, comprising:
- receiving, by a receiver, transmitted patient data;
- executing, by a processor, a basic model of a physiological system of the patient to generate a modified model for the patient based on the patient data, wherein the basic model comprises determining a rate of change in blood glucose level of the patient over a time interval based on food intake, insulin concentration in blood, and blood glucose inventory;
- performing, by the processor, a statistical analysis of the patient data to detect data excursions of values of first parameters of the physiological system;
- estimating, by the processor and using the modified model, an effect of the data excursions on second parameters of the physiological system;
- determining, by the processor and using the modified model, factors causing the data excursions;
- developing, by the processor and using the modified model, a plurality of treatment recommendations to ameliorate negative effects of the disease;
- and
- outputting, by an output device, the treatment recommendations.
