Personalized health information computer platform

Abstract

A computer-implemented method that includes receiving, by a computer system, current medical data from at least one electronic source; identifying, by the computer system, at least one medical-related filtering criterion related to an individual or a group of individuals; filtering, by the computer system, the current medical data based, at least in part, on at least one medical-related filtering criterion to identify current personalized medical data, where the current personalized medical data is related to the individual or the group of individuals; and presenting, by the computer system, the current personalized medical data to the individual or the group of individuals.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
 receiving, by at least one computer, user-specific medical data of a respective user of a plurality of users;
 wherein the user-specific medical data comprises user-specific medical situation information related to at least one medical condition of the respective user; 
   receiving, by the at least one computer, a plurality of informational items of other medical data which is distinct from the user-specific medical data of the respective user;   identifying, by the at least one computer, from the plurality of informational items of the other medical data, a set of user-personalized informational items for the respective user of the plurality of users, based, at least in part, on the user-specific medical data; and   determining, by the at least one computer, a relevance ranking for the set of user-personalized information items to be displayed to the respective user of the plurality of users, wherein the relevance ranking is, based, at least in part, on user-specific medical situation information of the respective user.   
     
     
         2 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a particular information item of the plurality of informational items is an obsolete information item.   
     
     
         3 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein each information item the set of user-personalized information items corresponds to at least one type of information selected from the group consisting of: an electronic social media posting of others, an article, a clinical trial information item, a crowdsourced information item based on activity of others, and any combination thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the user-specific medical situation information comprises:
 i) a user-specific demographic criterion,   ii) a user-specific health condition criterion, and   iii) a user-specific medical treatment criterion.   
     
     
         5 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the automatically determining the relevance ranking for the set of user-personalized information items comprises:
 classifying, by the at least one computer, the set of user-personalized information items in accordance with at least one pre-determined classification.   
     
     
         6 . A computer platform, comprising:
 at least one computer, comprising:
 a non-transient memory having at least one region for at least partially storing particular computer program code; and 
 at least one processor, wherein, upon executing the particular program code, the at least one processor is at least configured to:
 receive user-specific medical data of a respective user of a plurality of users; 
 wherein the user-specific medical data comprises user-specific medical situation information related to at least one medical condition of the respective user; 
 receive a plurality of informational items of other medical data which is distinct from the user-specific medical data of the respective user; 
 identify, from the plurality of informational items of the other medical data, a set of user-personalized informational items for the respective user of the plurality of users, based, at least in part, on the user-specific medical data; and 
 determine, a relevance ranking for the set of user-personalized information items to be displayed to the respective user of the plurality of users, wherein the relevance ranking is, based, at least in part, on user-specific medical situation information of the respective user. 
 
   
     
     
         7 . The platform of  claim 6 ,
 wherein a particular information item is an obsolete information item.   
     
     
         8 . The platform of  claim 6 , wherein each information item the set of user-personalized information items corresponds to at least one type of information selected from the group consisting of: an electronic social media posting of others, an article, a clinical trial information item, a crowdsourced information item based on activity of others, and any combination thereof. 
     
     
         9 . The platform of  claim 6 , wherein the user-specific medical situation information comprises:
 i) a user-specific demographic criterion,   ii) a user-specific health condition criterion, and   iii) a user-specific medical treatment criterion.   
     
     
         10 . The platform of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to automatically determine the relevance ranking for the set of user-personalized information items, by classifying the set of user-personalized information items in accordance with at least one pre-determined classification to form.
