System and method for performing a diagnostic analysis of physiological information

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an avatar engine having a controller to retrieve a user profile of a user, present the user an avatar having characteristics that correlate to the user profile, detect one or more responses of the user during a communication exchange between the user and the avatar, identify from the one or more responses a need to determine a medical status of the user, establish communications with a medical diagnostic system, receive physiological information associated with the user, submit the physiological information to the medical diagnostic system, receive from the medical diagnostic system a diagnostic analysis of the physiological information, and present the diagnostic analysis to at least one of the user and a medical agent of the user, wherein the user is presented the diagnostic analysis by way of the avatar. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. An avatar engine, comprising:
a memory that stores instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the processor performs operations comprising: retrieving a user profile of a user and an image of the user; generating an avatar based on the image of the user and based on statistical modeling that utilizes a demographic profile of the user and historical media consumption behavior of the user; providing interactive media services to the user via a communication exchange between the user and the avatar, wherein the interactive media services include non-medical services; presenting medical questions to the user; receiving responses from the user in response to the presenting of the medical questions; requesting, by way of the avatar being presented, that the user perform physiological tests to generate physiological information from the physiological tests based on the responses; receiving the physiological information; submitting the physiological information and the responses to a medical diagnostic system; receiving from the medical diagnostic system a diagnostic analysis of the physiological information and the responses; accessing prior diagnostic results supplied by a medical diagnostic system; comparing the diagnostic analysis with the prior diagnostic results as a comparison; determining a health condition of the user that indicates an improvement or deterioration in health based on the comparison; presenting the diagnostic analysis to equipment of a medical agent of the user, wherein the medical agent is presented the diagnostic analysis by way of the avatar; receiving from the equipment of the medical agent a prognosis and prescription determined from the diagnostic analysis; and presenting the user with the health condition, the prognosis and the prescription by way of the avatar.
