<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an intelligent system for collecting, storing, processing, and analyzing a patient's relevant medical history data. <P>SOLUTION: In one embodiment, a patient's medical history, including the patient's personal medical history and the patient's family medical history, are accessed within the system. The system is queried by doctors and other medical professionals to compare symptoms, diagnoses, prescriptions, and medical issues against the known medical history. Further, the system queries the medical history of family members, providing an accurate yet discreet evaluation of related health conditions that may have genetic or hereditary implications. A further embodiment utilizes the system to generate alerts on the basis of the patient's personal or family medical history. These alerts may be issued separately or in conjunction with the patient's current medical issues, in order to help patients and medical professionals recognize potential health conditions and obtain enhanced medical evaluation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
