[0059] Provides the system described in some publicly available examples, and

[0060] Execute the one or more programs to provide the instructions for the multiple steps.

[0061] This invention is not limited thereto and can be used to improve patients' quality of life and conditions in various disease areas, including but not limited to cancer, skin diseases, and inflammation. Further features and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0062] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an example method according to the present invention.

[0063] Figure 2 This is a schematic block diagram of a patient care system according to an example of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0064] This invention relates to an evidence-based, personalized mental health intervention approach for patients with physical health conditions. This approach improves or alleviates the health conditions caused by the physical health conditions and can ultimately reduce the severity and recurrence frequency of those conditions, thereby improving the patient's quality of life. The application of this invention is not limited and can be applied to various disease areas, including cancer, skin diseases, and inflammation.

[0065] Physical health status is defined in contrast to mental health status. It can refer to illness, disability, or injury. In contrast, mental health status refers to mental health problems that affect a person's thinking, feelings, behavior, or emotions, and can impair judgment or emotional stability. In some cases, physical health status is the primary health condition a patient is experiencing. The health status catalog includes secondary conditions resulting from the primary health condition, including the symptoms of the primary health condition and its accompanying conditions, particularly those related to mental health.

[0066] In some instances, the present invention provides a method for providing intervention courses to patients with physical health conditions, including steps such as target identification, assessment, mapping, and training.

[0067] When an intervention program targets a specific physical health condition, it may be necessary to select it from multiple health conditions at the outset. This selection, for example, is based on patient input, where one health condition becomes the primary health condition. In the goal identification (also known as selection) step, related health conditions, such as mental health conditions, can be selected by the patient with the primary health condition from a directory of health conditions that are caused by it. The selected health conditions are those the patient is experiencing and wishes to address. In some instances, more than one round of selection may be conducted, preferably two. In the first round, the user, preferably the patient, is allowed to select one or more health conditions. In the second round, the user is required to select only one health condition from the first round's choices. Through this selection design, the patient identifies a health condition that they deem most urgent to address, and the intervention program can be determined accordingly. This arrangement assures the patient that they are in control of the selection process and that the final choice originates from the patient themselves. This self-suggestion method can have a positive impact on the patient, making it easier for them to complete the intervention program and subsequently adhere to its instructions.

[0068] In some instances, a catalog of health conditions can be stored in a health condition database before selection. This database can be built in any suitable location, such as user devices (e.g., patient devices, HCP (healthcare professional) devices), administrator devices, servers, or the cloud. These health conditions relating to physical health can be collected through various suitable methods, such as observation, surveys, patient studies, HCPs, journals, manuals, etc. In some instances, the database contains 10-30 health conditions. Preferably, these conditions are primarily related to mental health. In some instances, mental health conditions account for more than 80% of all conditions, more preferably more than 85%, and even more preferably more than 90%.

[0069] In some instances, the health status catalog includes fatigue, insomnia, depression, and anxiety, such as fear of going out, appearance anxiety, uncertainty about when the illness will heal, uncertainty about the cause of the illness, uncertainty about dietary precautions, fear of being judged by colleagues or classmates, worry about medication dependence, worry about medication side effects, worry about the illness not being cured, impact on interpersonal relationships, inability to concentrate at work or school, financial worries, heavy medical expenses, worries about incorrect fitness exercises, worries about injections, and excessive worry about food and other allergens. In some instances, the health status catalog further includes pain.

[0070] A preferred health status catalog does not include health conditions that are present in almost all patients with the same physical condition. For example, in atopic dermatitis (AD), itching is preferably not included in this health status catalog. Itching occurs in almost all patients with atopic dermatitis and is the most distressing for most. If itching were included in the health status catalog, most patients would choose it. In this case, it becomes difficult to differentiate patient status and provide appropriate intervention courses for each patient for cognitive and behavioral training (CBT) planning.

[0071] According to the intervention training method of the present invention, the health conditions selected by the user can be retrieved in response to the user's, such as a patient's, actions via instructions from the application. The user can select one or more health conditions deemed relevant to the patient at the current stage. Typically, an adult patient can operate and complete the selection themselves. For young children, adults, usually their parents, can operate and complete the selection for them.

[0072] Once the final selection is determined, a set of questions (also referred to as the "set of questions") is provided to the patient for health status assessment. The patient is asked to provide feedback on the set of questions. The set of questions includes questions or inquiries corresponding to the final selected condition, so that the assessment of the patient's current state, such as the severity of the health condition, can be based on the patient's feedback on the set of questions. This set of questions is constructed to evaluate a variety of health conditions. In some instances, the questionnaire for the set of questions is known in the industry and used as a standard for clinical diagnosis. The questionnaire is typically designed with feedback collected from the patient, allowing for the calculation of severity scores on scales for the patient's health condition.

[0073] In some instances, questionnaires are divided into different condition groups. For example, a questionnaire may correspond to one or more conditions, which can be a condition group. For a health condition, one or more questionnaires may be provided, and such one or more questionnaires can be a questionnaire group. In some instances, for the health condition "pain," a questionnaire group is designed to assess scales, such as the DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index). In some instances, for the health condition group of insomnia and fatigue, a questionnaire group is designed to assess scales, such as the PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). In some instances, for the health condition of depression, a questionnaire group is designed to assess scales, such as the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire). In some instances, for the health condition group of various anxieties, a questionnaire group is designed to assess scales, such as the STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory). Preferably, the patient is asked to complete all questions or inquiries in the questionnaire group. However, in some instances, the present invention’s objective of assessing health status is sufficient based on a partially completed set of inquiries.

[0074] After the user completes the set of questions, an evaluation step is performed. In some instances, where the set of questions is designed to evaluate a specific scale, the scale score can be calculated based on the answers to each question in the questionnaire. In some instances, such calculations can be performed automatically by the application.

[0075] The assessment results reflect the patient's health status, such as the severity of the condition, and can be mapped to an intervention program. Based on various outcomes of the group's inquiries, such as calculated scores from completed questionnaires, intervention programs are selected and provided to the patients.

[0076] In some instances, intervention programs aim to introduce positive changes into a patient's cognition and behavior. Such treatment methods are called Cognitive and Behavioral Training (CBT) programs. Regarding the cognitive aspect, the program covers sleep hygiene, cognitive restructuring, including cognitive distortions and cognitive correction. Regarding the behavioral aspect, the program may cover sleep diaries, relaxation, food diaries, and mood diaries. Programs aimed at influencing behavior can also include cognitive content. For example, why relaxation is necessary and what a sleep diary is. Cognitive programs can also include content related to behavior. For example, after learning about sleep hygiene, expecting the patient to follow the instructions during sleep. Children often require special intervention programs that not only change the child's cognition but also that of their parents. Therefore, parents are also recommended to learn about the intervention program. Generally, similar programs can be used for adolescents and adults.

[0077] In some cases, programs tailored to insomnia patients include sleep restriction, stimulus control, relaxation training, sleep hygiene, and cognitive restructuring.

[0078] In some instances, based on scores calculated using scales such as the STAI, anxiety can be grouped into anxious personality and immediate anxiety. For anxious personality, courses may include relaxation training, identification and assessment of dysfunctional beliefs, and intervention for automatic thoughts; for immediate anxiety, courses may include common health issues coping skills, humanistic care, daily management, medication knowledge, and disease knowledge.

[0079] In some cases, for depressive conditions, patients can be divided into anxiety groups or insomnia groups based on scale scores, and relevant intervention courses can be provided separately.

[0080] In some instances, for pain caused by skin conditions or other health conditions, the course can include skills for managing these health conditions based on the calculated scores of scales such as the DLQI. For example, it can include daily problem-solving skills, daily disease management, disease medication knowledge, and disease awareness.

[0081] Intervention courses can take many forms, such as animation, games, videos, audio, and text.

[0082] In some instances, intervention programs can be offered at different levels based on the severity of the health condition indicated by the calculated scores. For example, for level 1, which represents a relatively mild condition, the program might include relaxation tools, such as relaxing music; for level 2, which represents a relatively severe condition, the program might include cognitive and behavioral training programs.

[0083] Intervention programs can improve or mitigate the severity of corresponding secondary health conditions, i.e., mental health conditions in some instances. And ultimately, they will benefit the primary health condition, i.e., physical health conditions in some instances.

[0084] The methods of this invention can be performed periodically, such as weekly or bi-weekly. In some instances, the treatment cycle for each intervention can be 1-4 weeks. A HCP can be involved to assess the results. If necessary, another treatment cycle can be performed. It is generally expected that the selected health condition will improve within three treatment cycles.

[0085] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating certain examples of method 100 of the present invention. The target identification step includes two rounds of selection. In the first round of selection (step 102), the patient selects one or more health conditions they wish to address. In the second round of selection (step 104), the patient is asked to select only one health condition, which is the one the patient most wants to address in the first round. After two rounds of selection, in the next assessment step (step 106), a corresponding assessment scale is provided to the patient to complete based on the health condition selected above. Then, in the following mapping step (step 108), a score is calculated based on the completed scale, and a training plan is formed based on the calculated score and other content from the completed questionnaire. Next, in the training step (step 110), the patient trains according to the training plan. An additional step is added to the method illustrated here. The "follow-up" step (step 112) provides a follow-up task, such as an additional assessment, at a designated training node, for example, every two weeks. The patient is asked to return to step 106 to complete the assessment task, so that the training plan can be adjusted based on the latest results of the task completion.

[0086] The present invention also provides a patient care system for providing intervention courses to patients with physical health conditions. The system includes a computer device and a storage unit. The computer device includes at least one input terminal and at least one output terminal. One or more applications are stored in the storage unit.

[0087] In some instances, the application is designed to be executed by a computer system containing a processor, providing instructions for performing multiple steps, including target identification, assessment, mapping, intervention courses, etc., as described above. The application can be installed in a computer environment, such as iOS, Android, macOS, or Microsoft Windows, and users can access the system through a computer device. The computer device can be a device running some or all of the functions of a computer, including smartphones, tablets, or PCs (personal computers). The application can be stored in the storage unit of the computer device and can be invoked and executed by the processor to provide instructions. The application can be built on a third-party platform, such as a WeChat mini-program. Users can obtain the application through various app stores (e.g., mobile app stores), third-party platforms, or any location assigned by an administrator, or it can be pre-installed on a computer device.

[0088] In some instances, the patient care system may include a computer device at the user end. This user can be a patient, a healthcare professional (HCP), or a person providing system maintenance, such as an administrator. The computer device includes at least one input and at least one output for exchanging information and data with the user and other parts of the system.

[0089] In the target identification step, a health status directory can be retrieved from the status database and provided to the output of the computer device. The user can make selections on the computer device. In some instances, the user can select one or more health statuses in the first round of selection. The selection results can be received through the input of the device. In response to the selection results, the application can provide further instructions through the device's output, prompting the user to make a second round of selection to determine the final choice. The final choice is the health status that the user's task most urgently needs to improve or alleviate. In the assessment step, the final choice is provided to the system through the device's input. Based on the final choice, the application provides instructions to extract a set of queries and provides them to the user through the device's output. The user completes the set of queries and provides the results to the system through the device's input. In the mapping step, the computer program extracts an intervention course corresponding to the assessment results. In the intervention step, the course is provided to the user through the device's output, and the user then takes the intervention course.

[0090] The computer device may include one or more storage units. The storage unit may be one or more memories, including high-speed random access memory such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid-state memory devices, or one or more non-volatile memories such as disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. The application program may be stored on the storage unit and is readable and executable by the computer device.

[0091] In some instances, health status catalogs and intervention courses can be stored on a database module, provided the computer device can access them. In some instances, such database modules and storage units for storing applications can be part of the computer device, and therefore can reside within the computer device. In some instances, health status catalogs and intervention courses, along with the application, are stored directly on a storage unit of the computer device. In some instances, the storage unit includes one or more storage devices located remotely from the computer device, such as on another computer device, a local area network, the internet, or in the cloud.

[0092] In some instances, the system further includes a processor that can execute the application and generate instructions for each step. In some instances, the processor is part of the computer device and therefore may reside within the computer device. In some instances, the processor functionality may be provided by a network or the cloud, and in some instances, the processor is part of a network or the cloud.

[0093] In some instances, the input terminal of the computer device can be a human input device, such as a computer mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen. A user, such as a patient, can use this input device to manually input information into the system, for example, to select and assess the health condition. Preferably, the input terminal is a touchscreen of a mobile phone or tablet. Alternatively, the input terminal may include a microphone and voice recognition hardware and software.

[0094] The output terminal may be a screen (display). In some instances, the input terminal and the output terminal may be the same touchscreen.

[0095] In some instances, the input and output terminals may include a graphical user interface (GUI). Preferably, the input and output terminals may include the same GUI. The GUI can be in any form suitable for a computer system and user device. For example, such a GUI may include a home page, a treatment page, a log page, an exploration page, and a personal information page. On the home page, there is a directory of tasks to be completed, as well as virtual buttons that direct the user to other pages. Recommended intervention courses may be included on the treatment page. Users can follow the instructions to complete the intervention courses here. On the log page, users can complete an emotional diary, assess sleep, mood, diet, and other aspects, and view feedback after completing the assessment. On the exploration page, users can learn about various forms of health-related knowledge, such as videos, articles, etc. On the personal information page, users can enter personal information, view personal profiles, health reports, training records, etc.

[0096] In some instances, the system may further include a management unit where users (typically administrators) have administrative privileges to monitor operations, logs, and data input and output, as well as modify or update the application, the health status catalog, and group queries. The management unit may include a user interface designed for administrative purposes.

[0097] In some instances, the system may further include a communication endpoint, which may include communication components and connect computer devices to a network, such as the Internet and / or a local area network, or the cloud. The system may utilize physical and / or virtual servers across multiple networks or clouds to store the set of queries, health status catalogs, intervention programs, applications, and generated data. The computer device may retrieve or access the data, information, and applications stored on the network or cloud. For example, when the computer device is a mobile phone, the communication endpoint includes mobile cellular system components for GRPR (general packet radioservice), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), or other systems.

[0098] When the patient care system is located in the cloud, the health status catalog, the storage of the group of queries, and the processor functions can utilize cloud services. In some embodiments of the present invention, the system architecture of the cloud-based patient care system includes a "user" module that can represent user-end devices, including patient applications, WeChat mini-programs, doctor applications, and management centers (e.g., management devices). In some embodiments, user-end devices can include input and output terminals, which can be used to provide input to the patient care system and system output to the user. The "cloud network infrastructure" module can provide entry points and firewalls for connecting to the cloud, including cloud pathways, cloud firewalls, etc. The "cloud CDN" can be the exit facility of the cloud network. The "cloud services" module provides cloud services including Cloud CLB, TKE K8s, instant messaging, SMS services, etc. The "production environment" module provides storage and computing functions, including Cloud TDSQLMySQL, Cloud Redis, Cloud DBS, etc. In some embodiments, Cloud TDSQLMySQL includes master and slave servers, providing database functions on which the group of queries and the health status catalog can be stored. The "production environment" can also store training courses in the form of videos, audio, and images. The cloud can also serve as a platform for security services, including cloud job protection, data security auditing, and vulnerability scanning services.

[0099] This invention brings cognitive and behavioral training programs to patients with physical health conditions. Based on the principle of self-suggestion, and due to the invention's unique design and multi-round selection process, patients can identify the health condition that most urgently needs to be addressed. In some instances, this health condition is a mental health condition resulting from a physical health condition. This identification method strengthens the patient's belief in controlling the selection process and further makes it easier for them to adhere to and complete the intervention program, following the guidance and knowledge learned from the training. The intervention method of this invention can improve and alleviate the severity of the selected health condition, ultimately contributing to the recovery of the physical health condition and improving the patient's quality of life.
