Methods and Apparatus for Smart Healthcare Decision Analytics and Support
The present invention relates to methods and an apparatus for developing, analyzing, investigating, supporting and advising healthcare and well-being related decisions.
(1) for users to present decision analytics problems at hand via centralized, distributed, and/or pervasive/mobile manners, (2) to extract and/or infer the contextual information for users and analytics problem, such as users' profiles and analytics scales of the problems (e.g., decision analytics and supports for a region or for a hospital) during the user-system interaction process, (3) to automatically extract, infer, and/or refine objective(s), problem types, issues, sub-questions, criteria, requirements (e.g., indicators and measurements), and corresponding decision/control variables and constraints for the decision analytics problems from users' problem sketches or descriptions, (4) to record and recall encountered users and to automatically identify and/or infer the types of subsequent/new users with their profiles and relate their needs (i.e., required decision analytics and support problems) together, in doing so to intelligently and automatically infer and recommend the decision analytics problems for subsequent/new users, and (5) to gather and incorporate user-initiated feedback (e.g., on intermediate result evaluation) and/or intelligently/automatically infer feedback on behalf of users, during the analytics processes.
For healthcare decision analytics and support
The present invention relates to the architecture of systems in either stand-alone or distributed/collaborative/pervasive settings, the components of the systems and their underlying processes and couplings, the computational techniques built into the methods, input data sources integrated into and output results produced and distributed by the systems, as well as the apparatus for carrying out the corresponding user interaction, data access and collection, data integration and processing, data-driven inferences and simulation, intelligent computations, decision analytics, and decision support to generating solutions to various healthcare analytics and decision-making problems.
