摘要

A system (1) for computing a disease risk score of a patient based on a recommendation of treatment or lifestyle changes is disclosed. The system comprises an input device (11) for receiving risk parameter values for computing the disease risk score according to a risk score algorithm, and for receiving the recommendation of treatment or lifestyle changes, an interpreter (21) for computing at least one risk parameter value for computing the disease risk score, on the basis of the recommended treatment or lifestyle changes, a risk calculator (31) for calculating the disease risk score on the basis of the received risk parameter values and the computed risk parameter value, and an output device (41) for communicating the calculated disease risk score. Thanks to the interpreter (21), the recommended treatment or lifestyle change is "translated" into a value of a risk parameter for computing the disease risk score, thereby allowing calculating the risk score resulting from the treatment or lifestyle change.
