System and methods for addressing psychological conditions of a patient through guided meditation

Abstract

Computing devices, methods and computer-readable mediums for providing guided meditation to patients based on results of a psychological test are provided herein. Contemplated computing devices can comprise a processor, a memory for storing a computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to serve psychological tests to the patient through a virtual patient portal, transform results of the psychological tests into sets of psychological conditions of the patient, match predefined meditation paths to the patient, and serve guided meditation tracks in the matched meditation paths to the patient through the virtual patient portal.

         2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1 , wherein the patient data collected during completion of the first meditation path by the patient comprises biometric data. 
     
     
         3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to calculate a meditation score comprising a quantitative value based on the patient data collected during completion of the first meditation path by the patient, and wherein matching the second meditation path to the patient is further based on the meditation score. 
     
     
         4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 3 , wherein the patient data comprises biometric data read from a sensor device worn by the patient during completion of the first meditation path by the patient. 
     
     
         5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1 , wherein the first meditation path is associated with a first difficulty level, and wherein the second meditation path is associated with a second difficulty level greater than the first difficulty level. 
     
     
         6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to modify the first meditation path based on the results of the first psychological test. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to modify the second meditation path based on the results of the second psychological test. 
     
     
         8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to:
 receive an electronic medical record of the patient indicating an upcoming scheduled surgery;   assign a preoperative meditation path to the patient; and   at a fourth time preceding the upcoming scheduled surgery, serve a guided meditation track in the preoperative meditation path to the patient through the virtual patient portal.   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to:
 access a current biometric signal of the patient;   infer a current physiological state of the patient from the current biometric signal of the patient;   select an alternate guided meditation track outside of the second meditation path based on an intensity of the current physiological state of the patient; and   serve the alternate guided meditation track to the patient through the virtual patient portal.   
     
     
         10 . A computing device, wherein the computing device comprises:
 one or more processors;   a memory for storing a computer-readable medium;   wherein the computer-readable medium comprises computer-readable instructions stored therein that are executable by the one or more processors to:
 serve a first psychological test to the patient through a virtual patient portal executing on a computing device; 
 transform results of the first psychological test into a set of psychological conditions of the patient; 
 match a first meditation path, from a set of predefined meditation paths, to the patient, based at least in part on a severity of each psychological condition in the set of psychological conditions; 
 at a first time, serve a first guided meditation track in the first meditation path to the patient through the virtual patient portal; 
 collect patient data during completion of the first meditation path by the patient; 
 at a second time succeeding completing of the first meditation path by the patient, serve a second psychological test to the patient through the virtual patient portal; 
 match a second meditation path, from the set of predefined meditation paths, to the patient based at least in part on a result of the second psychological test and the patient data collected during completion of the first meditation path by the patient; and 
 at a third time succeeding the second time, serve a second guided meditation track in the second meditation path to the patient through the virtual patient portal. 
   
     
     
         11 . The computing device of  claim 11 , wherein the patient data collected during completion of the first meditation path by the patient comprises biometric data. 
     
     
         12 . The computing device of  claim 11 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to calculate a meditation score comprising a quantitative value based on the patient data collected during completion of the first meditation path by the patient, and wherein matching the second meditation path to the patient is further based on the meditation score. 
     
     
         13 . The computing device of  claim 12 , wherein the patient data comprises biometric data read from a sensor device worn by the patient during completion of the first meditation path by the patient. 
     
     
         14 . The computing device of  claim 11 , wherein the first meditation path is associated with a first difficulty level, and wherein the second meditation path is associated with a second difficulty level greater than the first difficulty level. 
     
     
         15 . The computing device of  claim 11 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to modify the first meditation path based on the results of the first psychological test. 
     
     
         16 . The computing device of  claim 11 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to modify the second meditation path based on the results of the second psychological test. 
     
     
         17 . The computing device of  claim 11 , wherein the computer-readable instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to:
