METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECORDING AND ANALYZING SYNDROMES AND THEIR CAUSES AND FOR ESTABLISHING APPROPRIATE THERAPY PROPOSALS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for detecting and analyzing clinicalpictures and the causes thereof and determining appropriate therapy proposals.In order to provide a system for detecting and analyzing clinical pictures andthe causes thereof and for determining proposals for appropriate therapy,which can lead to a diagnosis and a corresponding therapy proposal even in thecase of complex clinical causes and pictures, said proposal involving amaximum diagnostic certainty and minimum risk for the patient, the methoddisclosed in the invention comprises the following characteristics: a) drawingup at least one set of anamnesis questions and storing said set in a datastorage; b) drawing up a record of data on the causes of the disease andstoring said record in a data storage; c) preparing a computer program thatselects and presents anamnesis questions in accordance with a given set ofrules; d) registering the answers to the anamnesis questions; e) generating aset of possible diagnosis based on the answers registered in step d) andoptionally generating proposals for exams and tests to further narrow down thediagnosis; f) drawing up one or several diagnosis proposals and g) drawing upone or more therapy proposals, wherein particularly steps e) to g) are runnedautomatically under the control of an interactive computer program. Accordingto the invention, the system has the following characteristics: a) a storagewith a stored set of anamnesis questions; b) a stored set of data on thecauses of the disease, including pathogenic and/or allergenic matter; c) acomputer having a computer program that selects and presents anamnesisquestions in accordance with a predetermined set of rules; d) an input devicefor entering patient data and answers to the anamnesis questions; e) a storagefor the inputted data; f) a computer program that processes the inputted datawith the purpose of drawing up one or more diagnosis and one or more therapyproposals and g) an output device for presenting the questions, the diagnosisand the therapy proposals.
