Computer implemented system and method for assessing a neuropsychiatric condition of a human subject

Abstract

A method for assessing a neuropsychiatric condition (such as, but not limited to, a risk that a subject may attempt to commit suicide or repeat an attempt to commit suicide, a risk that terminally ill patient is not being care-for or treated according to the patient's true wishes, a risk that a subject may perform or repeat a criminal act and/or a harmful act, a risk of the subject having a psychiatric illness, and/or a risk of a subject feigning a psychiatric illness) may include a plurality of steps. A step may include receiving biomarker data associated from an analysis of the subject's biological sample and a step of receiving thought-marker data obtained pertaining to one or more of the subject's recorded thoughts, spoken words, transcribed speech, and writings. A step may include generating a biomarker score associated with the neuropsychiatric condition from the biomarker data. A step may include generating a thought-marker score associated with the neuropsychiatric condition from the thought-marker data. And a step may involve calculating a neuropsychiatric condition score based, at least in part, upon the biomarker score and the thought-marker score. Such method may be operating from one or more memory devices including computer-readable instructions configured to instruct a computerized system to perform the method, and the method may be operating on a computerized system including one or more computer servers (or other available devices) accessible over a computer network such as the Internet or over some other data network.
