RESPONSIVE WHOLE PATIENT CARE COMPRESSION THERAPY AND TREATMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Apparatus and methods relate to a pneumatic compression therapy device configured to suggest content to the patient based on a determined disease state, the content pertaining to suggested changes in lifestyle based on a standard of care. In an illustrative embodiment, the suggested changes may include modifications to treatment location, treatment time, diet, eating habits, or sleeping schedule. Various examples may further sample the patient's health and automatically adjust a treatment parameter within a predetermined parameter range based on a history of measured parameters, such as limb volume, for example. In coordination with the therapeutic treatment, the therapy device may deliver suggested content to guide the patient to make more healthful lifestyle choices to reduce recovery time and improve patient health outcomes.

1. A method of operating a compression therapy controller module (CTCM) as a system hub configured to deliver personalized compression therapy coupled with automated management of an emotional state of a user by delivering emotional wellness content to promote compliance with a prescribed treatment protocol or desired emotional state for treating a disease state that is known to benefit from active compression therapy, the method comprising:
(a) identifying a predetermined optimal emotional state profile associated with treatment of a current disease state of a patient who has a prescribed treatment protocol that includes receiving therapy from a compression therapy device adapted to treat the disease state; (b) assessing, with the device, a current emotional state of the patient based on an emotional input signal received by the device, the emotional input signal comprising an indicator having a predetermined correlation with emotional state of a patient with the disease state; (c) determining a variance between the optimal emotional state profile and the assessed current emotional state; and, (d) based on the determined variance, generating content to deliver to the patient, the generated content comprising information that the patient can consume to reduce the variance; and, (e) delivering the generated content to the patient.
