Wellness Decision Support Services

Abstract

Techniques for providing one or more user-centric wellness decision support services are provided. The techniques include providing an interface that facilitates selection of a risk assessment model of interest for a user and an action plan to trigger one or more follow-up action items, applying the selected model to assess the user's wellness risk level based on one or more user wellness records, and applying the selected action plan to trigger one or more relevant disease management and lifestyle interventions.

         17 . A computer program product comprising a tangible computer readable recordable storage medium including computer useable program code for providing one or more user-centric wellness decision support services, the computer program product including:
 computer useable program code for providing an interface that facilitates selection of a risk assessment model of interest for a user and an action plan to trigger one or more follow-up action items;   computer useable program code for applying the selected model to assess the user's wellness risk level based on one or more user wellness records; and   computer useable program code for applying the selected action plan to trigger one or more relevant disease management and lifestyle interventions.   
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 17 , further comprising computer useable program code for using a personal wellness knowledge manager to maintain a wellness knowledge repository. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 17 , further comprising computer useable program code for using a wellness decision service deployment module to analyze input from a knowledge repository and one or more restrictions and constraints in a user risk profile, and output an adjusted plan. 
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 17 , further comprising computer useable program code for providing a configuration-free module for use if there is no selection of a risk assessment model of interest and an action plan. 
     
     
         21 . The computer program product of  claim 20 , wherein the computer useable program code for providing a configuration-free module for use if there is no selection of a risk assessment model of interest and an action plan comprises:
 computer useable program code for constructing a user's wellness profile by scanning through one or more user wellness records and identifying one or more risk factors;   computer useable program code for facilitating interaction with the user for input of one or more wellness management goals and risk factor importance; and   computer useable program code for identifying one or more pertinent risk models and associated risk factors and ranks one or more relevant action plans.   
     
     
         22 . A system for providing one or more user-centric wellness decision support services, comprising:
 a memory; and   at least one processor coupled to the memory and operative to:
 provide an interface that facilitates selection of a risk assessment model of interest for a user and an action plan to trigger one or more follow-up action items; 
 apply the selected model to assess the user's wellness risk level based on one or more user wellness records; and 
 apply the selected action plan to trigger one or more relevant disease management and lifestyle interventions. 
   
     
     
         23 . The system of  claim 22 , wherein the at least one processor coupled to the memory is further operative to use a wellness decision service deployment module to analyze input from a knowledge repository and one or more restrictions and constraints in a user risk profile, and output an adjusted plan. 
     
     
         24 . The system of  claim 22 , wherein the at least one processor coupled to the memory is further operative to provide a configuration-free module for use if there is no selection of a risk assessment model of interest and an action plan. 
     
     
         25 . The system of  claim 24 , wherein the at least one processor coupled to the memory operative to provide a configuration-free module for use if there is no selection of a risk assessment model of interest and an action plan is further operative to:
 construct a user's wellness profile by scanning through one or more user wellness records and identifying one or more risk factors;   facilitate interaction with the user for input of one or more wellness management goals and risk factor importance; and   identify one or more pertinent risk models and associated risk factors and ranks one or more relevant action plans.
