A system and method for guideline-based discharge planning of a patient from a facility, comprising determining via a processor whether a patient meets predetermined discharge criteria from the facility, generating a first signal indicative of the patient's risk of re-admission to the facility, generating a second signal indicative of a plan for providing care for the patient, generating a third signal indicative of a status of the patient for a post-discharge care report, and generating a fourth signal indicative of instructions to discharge the patient from the facility.

Guideline-based patient discharge planning

The invention provides for remote patient management system comprising a computing device comprising a processor. The computing device further comprises a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed cause the processor to perform a method of calculating an assessment score. The assessment score measures the effect of a content element on a patient. The method comprising the steps of: delivering the content element to the patient, wherein the content element comprises a list of assessment parameters; generating an assessment content element using the list of assessment parameters; delivering the assessment content element to the patient; receiving a response from patient; and calculating the assessment score using the response.

Remote patient management system adapted for generating an assessment content element

A computer-implemented method of manufacturing a computer-readable storage medium for a remote patient management system with instructions for causing the execution of a care plan comprising a coaching plan. The method comprises: displaying a list of psychological determinants, receiving a selection of a group of psychological determinants chosen from the list of psychological determinants, generating a list of behavioral models using the group of psychological determinants, receiving a selection of at least one selected behavioral model from the list of behavioral models, determining a time line for the global structure of the coaching plan using the at least one selected behavioral model, compiling a coaching object file using the time line, linking the coaching object file to a library of multi-media content to resolve unresolved symbolic links of the time line, integrating the coaching plan into the care plan, and writing the care plan to the computer-readable storage medium.

A system for managing the food intake of a person comprises means for collecting information about food consumed by the subject, and means for providing feedback to the subject regarding the food consumed. It further comprises a sensorfor obtaining a signal related to the person and monitoring means for generating the information by performing a pattern recognition of the obtained signal for detecting whether the person is consuming food. The sensor comprises a camera and the pattern recognition comprises image processing. The image processing comprises the detection of a mouth and of a hand and of food. The system further comprises means for causing an audio/video-rendering deviceto deliver the feedback. The camera is attached to the rendering device. The system further comprises means for identifying available rendering devicesarranged for being caused to deliver feedback.

Modifying a person's eating and activity habits

A system for managing the food intake of a person comprises means for collecting information about food consumed by the subject, and means for providing feedback to the subject regarding the food consumed. It further comprises a sensor () for obtaining a signal related to the person and monitoring means for generating the information by performing a pattern recognition of the obtained signal for detecting whether the person is consuming food. The sensor comprises a camera and the pattern recognition comprises image processing. The image processing comprises the detection of a mouth and of a hand and of food. The system further comprises means for causing an audio/video-rendering device () to deliver the feedback. The camera is attached to the rendering device. The system further comprises means for identifying available rendering devices () arranged for being caused to deliver feedback.

A weight management system () comprising logging means () for logging past food intake events and past energy expenditure events, means for receiving () agenda entries and storage means () for storing the past food intake events, the past energy expenditure events and the agenda entries. The system further comprises a processor () for, based on the past food intake events, the past energy expenditure events and the agenda entries, scheduling at least one future food intake event or at least one future energy expenditure event and adding the future food intake event or the at least one future energy expenditure event to the storage means () as one of the agenda entries. An output () is provided for presenting the agenda entries to the user. The system () enables integrating a weight management system with a user's personal agenda.

Electronic agenda with weight management function

A weight management system comprises a cash register (CRS), a user client (UC) and a weight management module (WM), coupled via a wide area network (WAN). A user has a personal card (PC) with a code, the code identifying the user to the cash register and being related to a user ID. The cash register system (CRS) is arranged for sending, when the user pays the food item, corresponding food intake information and the user ID to the weight management module (WM). The weight management module (WM) comprises a food information system, a calorie intake component and a calorie balance component. The food information system stores a respective calorie content for a plurality of food items. The calorie intake component is coupled to the food information system and calculates an amount of calories taken by the user based on the received food intake information.
