Benefits of technology

The present invention is a healthcare system and method that creates a personalized care plan for a user based on their life goals. This leads to better motivation and compliance with the care plan, and enables dynamic changes at run time. By focusing on the user's life goals, the system encourages real behavioral change needed to achieve the health goals. The invention also provides feedback to the user about their compliance with the care plan. Overall, this technology enhances the effectiveness of healthcare programs and improves the well-being of users.

Problems solved by technology

Chronic conditions such as heart failure (HF) place a tremendous strain on patients, their families, the community, and the health care system because there are no real “cures”.
Further, worsening of HF is a leading cause of readmission within 30 days post-discharge across all diseases, e.g., every 1 out of 4 patients is going back to the hospital in the 30 days post-discharge period.
Patient's non-compliance to chronic conditions therapy specified by a care plan (CP; generally being a specification of a coaching intervention) decreases the care plan efficacy and exposes the patient to clinical destabilization, which can lead to exacerbating disease symptoms.

first embodiment

[0033]FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a healthcare system 10 according to the present invention for creating a personalized care plan for a user (e.g. a patient; in the following reference will be made to patient, but this may generally be understood as a user). It comprises a processor 11 and a computer-readable storage medium 12. The computer-readable storage medium 12 contains instructions for execution by the processor 11. These instructions cause the processor 11 to perform the steps of a healthcare method 100 as illustrated in the flow chart shown in FIG. 2.

[0034]In a first step S10 life goal information 1 defined by a user is received, said life goal information indicating the user's life goals. In a second step S11 the received life goal information 1 is mapped into care plan goals categories 2 including two or more categories. In a third step S12 a care plan is defined, said care plan including a care plan schedule for the care plan goals categories 2 into which the rec...

second embodiment

[0039]FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a second, more detailed embodiment of a healthcare system 20 according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a healthcare method 200 according to the present invention, by way of which more details of the present invention and of preferred embodiment will be explained hereinafter.

[0040]The healthcare system 20 comprises a Life Goals—Care Plan Translator 30, which carries out the steps of the healthcare method 200 and which may be implemented by the processor 11 of the healthcare system 10 shown in FIG. 1. Here in this embodiment the Life Goals—Care Plan Translator 30 is implemented by a back-end clinical server system comprising e.g. a patient management server and a care plan server. Other implementations are, however, possible as well, and the particular way of implementing the system 20 is generally not essential for the present invention.

[0041]The Life Goals—Care Plan Translator 30 communicates with a patient'...

Abstract

A healthcare system for creating a personalized care plan for a user comprises a processor and a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium contains instructions for execution by the processor. The instructions cause the processor to perform the steps of receiving life goal information defined by a user, said life goal information indicating the user's life goals, mapping the received life goal information into care plan goals categories including two or more categories, and defining a care plan including a care plan schedule for the care plan goals categories onto which the received life goal information has been mapped, said schedule includes, per care plan goals category, one or more care plan content elements representing elements of the care plan.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to healthcare system for creating a personalized care plan for a user, in particular a patient. The present invention further relates to a corresponding healthcare method and to a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Chronic conditions such as heart failure (HF) place a tremendous strain on patients, their families, the community, and the health care system because there are no real “cures”. Approximately 5.8 million Americans are living with HF, with an estimated incidence of 660,000 new cases each year. Further, worsening of HF is a leading cause of readmission within 30 days post-discharge across all diseases, e.g., every 1 out of 4 patients is going back to the hospital in the 30 days post-discharge period.[0003]Patient's non-compliance to chronic conditions therapy specified by a care plan (CP; generally being a specification of a coaching intervention) decreases the care plan ...
