Health Assessment via Online Application Session Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for assessing mental and emotional health are not accurate, relying on self-reported information and do not effectively capture a subject's current state, leading to inadequate healthcare provision.
Innovation Solution
A system that analyzes interactions with online applications to determine health assessment information by receiving session usage information, application usage data, and psychological profiles, allowing for subconscious decision-making patterns to be assessed during subject-initiated sessions, providing a more accurate mental and emotional health evaluation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If self-reported information methods (questionnaires, disclosures, logs) are used to assess health, then the assessment process is simple and requires minimal technology, but the accuracy of health assessment is insufficient and cannot capture current mental and emotional state
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (computing device with processor and storage) that mediates between the subject's online application interactions and the health assessment. This intermediary automatically collects session usage information, application usage data, and psychological profiles without requiring direct self-reporting, thereby improving assessment accuracy while managing system complexity through automated data processing
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical assessment methods (questionnaires, manual disclosures, and paper logs) with an electronic digital system that automatically captures interaction data from online applications. This substitution uses software-based data collection and analysis mechanisms to assess health status through digital footprints rather than human self-reporting, significantly improving measurement precision
2Measurement precision
If traditional questionnaires and disclosures are used, then the assessment process is quick and requires minimal time, but it cannot accurately capture the subject's current mental and emotional health state
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous health assessment through automated collection of session usage information during online application interactions. Rather than periodic self-reporting, the system continuously monitors and analyzes interaction patterns, usage timing, and engagement data to detect current mental and emotional states in real-time, eliminating the time loss associated with periodic self-assessment cycles
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service assessment by automatically analyzing the subject's own interaction patterns with online applications without requiring active participation in traditional assessment procedures. The subject's natural usage behavior serves as the assessment data source, eliminating the time required for deliberate self-reporting while maintaining continuous, accurate monitoring of current health state
3Measurement precision
If reliance on subject-initiated communication is used, then the assessment process is straightforward and requires minimal infrastructure, but it cannot provide accurate real-time health assessment information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the assessment system universal by collecting and analyzing multiple types of data from various online application interactions (session usage information, application usage data, psychological profiles). This multi-functional data collection approach can assess different aspects of mental and emotional health through a single integrated system, improving real-time accuracy without requiring separate specialized systems for each assessment dimension
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data collection and processing of interaction patterns during normal online application use. By pre-processing and storing session usage information, application usage data, and psychological profiles before formal assessment, the system prepares comprehensive health information in advance, enabling accurate real-time assessment without adding significant infrastructure complexity

AI summary
Systems and methods to assess health information for a subject based on subject-initiated sessions with online applications are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: store, in electronic storage, psychological profiles of subjects, application usage information for the subjects, and/or stated information for the subjects; receive, from an online application, session usage information for a subject responsive to the subject initiating a session with the online platform; and determine, in an ongoing manner during the session, health assessment information for the subject based on the session usage information, the application usage information, a psychological profile of the subject, and/or the stated information.
