METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISEASE PROGRESSION MODELING AND THERAPY OPTIMIZING FOR INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS

摘要

A method and system for automated disease progression modeling and therapy optimization for an individual patient is disclosed. A current condition of the patient is modeled using a state-variable model in which a plurality of state variables in a state vector represent a plurality of characteristics of the patient. Disease progression for the patient is predicted based on the state variables of the patient. An optimization is performed to determine an optimal therapy type and an optimal therapy timing for the patient based on the predicted disease progression for the patient.
