Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of on-line health education, and in particular to an automated system and method for providing customized health education to induce a modification in a health related behavior of an individual.
- a health education program exposes an individual to information or instructions relating to a selected health behavior. The individual then may modify his or her behavior to accommodate the information and adhere to the instructions. The degree to which the individual modifies his or her health-related behavior and adheres to the instructions defines the individual's compliance to the health education program.
- One such anti-smoking campaign involves mailing a multiple page pamphlet to every household within a geographical region.
- the pamphlet is written in English and gives a detailed description of five medical conditions resulting from smoking: Emphysema, Pulmonary Carcinoma, Atherosclerosis, and Cerebral Hemorrhage.
- the pamphlet also informs the reader that by quitting smoking, he or she will experience a sixty percent reduction in the risk of contracting any of these ailments, a reduction that translates into a significant gain in life expectancy.
- the method fails to consider the comprehension capacity of the pamphlet's audience. For example, because the pamphlet is written in English, it may exclude roughly twenty-five percent of the population in the selected geographical region who read only Spanish.
- the pamphlet describes the consequences of smoking using medical terminology like Emphysema, Pulmonary Carcinoma, etc. Twenty-five percent of the population in the selected region without a high school degree might prefer plain language, such as Stiff Lungs, Lung Cancer, Hardened Blood Vessels, and Stroke. The pamphlet quickly loses the attention of these recipients as well. As a result of its failure to consider the comprehension capacity of each individual recipient, the mass mailing method loses roughly half of the target population it intends to educate due to standardized language, standardized delivery, and standardized media.
- the mass mailing method of health education has a second disadvantage in failing to consider the evaluation and judgment of each individual receiving a pamphlet.
- each individual Upon receiving the pamphlet, each individual will immediately decide if the topic discussed is relevant to his or her situation. Because the pamphlet is mailed to all households within a region, money is wasted by mailing the pamphlet to disinterested non-smokers. Additionally, the opening and reading of the anti-smoking pamphlet is tedious for the non-smokers. As a result, they might not even bother to open and read a subsequent pamphlet addressing a health topic relevant to their health condition.
- a third disadvantage of the mass mailing method is its inability to target specific motivating factors for behavior modification to each individual receiving a pamphlet.
- the pamphlet addresses longevity of life associated with quitting smoking, but many individuals receiving the pamphlet may value the present far more than the future. Because the pamphlet does not address present day issues, such as coughing at night while trying to sleep or spending fifteen hundred dollars per year on cigarettes, the individual living for the present will not be motivated to quit smoking.
- Each individual has his or her own motivational drivers for inducing behavior modification that cannot be specifically targeted in a standardized pamphlet.
- a fourth disadvantage of the mass mailing method of health education is its inability to provide feedback and continued motivation to each individual recipient. Even if one individual did actually quit smoking as a result of reading the pamphlet, the individual would receive no specialized follow-up education for coping with nicotine withdrawal, weight gain, or other consequences of this behavioral change.
- mass mailing is just one example of a standardized broadcast media technique. The same disadvantages as those described for mass mailings hold for other broadcast media methods of health education.
- a completely customized educational solution for modifying health related behaviors can be accomplished using a private or semi-private educational environment.
- a private or semi-private educational environment Within such an environment, it is possible to psychologically analyze each individual to identify his or her specific motivational drivers for making health-related decisions or modifying health-related behavior.
- the disadvantage of this private method is that it is too expensive and time consuming for a large percentage of the population to afford. As a result, it excludes this large percentage of the population who could significantly benefit from customized health education.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,122 issued to Fuller et al. on Aug. 7, 1984 discloses a health potential summary and incentive system.
- the system reads and scores the answers to a printed questionnaire completed by an individual.
- the questionnaire includes questions to determine the individual's demographics, alcohol and tobacco usage, stress factors, exercise routines, and daily nutrition. Based on the individual's scored answers, the system prints a summary analysis of the individual's health condition in several health categories, as well as recommendations for improvement in each category.
- Strecher discloses a tailored health-related behavioral change and adherence system.
- an individual's answers to health-related questions are used to select instructional and motivational statements for changing a behavior of the individual.
- the instructional and motivational statements are then placed on dated pages, such as those of a calendar, corresponding to dates before, during, and after a selected change date for the health-related behavior.
- this calendar system described by Strecher does provide continued support to an individual attempting to modify his or her behavior, the continued support is not based on any performance feedback from the individual. Because the calendar is printed in advance on the basis of one questionnaire, the system has no mechanism for adjusting the educational and motivational material supplied to the individual in dependence upon new data relating to the individual's mental and physical health condition. Further, the Strecher system has no mechanism for tailoring the educational and motivational instructions to the specific comprehension capacity and preferred media of the individual user.
- the system includes a client database for storing for each client a name, a calling schedule, and a personal identification number.
- the system further includes a client program that contains for each client motivational messages and questions for the client to answer.
- the system optionally includes an electronic weight scale, olfactory unit, or voice stress analyzer to collect additional data from the client.
- the client database and client program are operated by a computer that at preselected times sends the motivational messages or questions to the clients dual tone multifrequency telephone after the client has successfully transmitted to the computer a valid personal identification number.
- Bro does provide continued feedback and motivational support to an individual, it suffers from two of the same disadvantages described earlier for the Fuller and Dewey systems.
- Bro does not teach the profiling of an individual to determine his or her specific motivational drivers for changing a health-related behavior. Consequently, the motivational support provided by the system may be ineffective for many of the individual clients.
- the system has no mechanism for tailoring the motivational messages to the specific comprehension capacity and preferred media of an individual client. The system is only designed to play motivational messages or collect answers to questions using a telephone.
- none of the prior automated systems for providing health education to the general public effectively customize the educational material to correspond to the specific motivational drivers of each individual user. Further, none of the prior automated systems have a mechanism for customizing the educational material to conform to the comprehension capacity and preferred media of the individual user. Additionally, several of the systems lack any feedback mechanism for receiving evaluation data regarding the individual's performance in modifying his or her behavior and for providing the individual continued customized support for the behavioral change.
- an object of the present invention to provide an automated system and method for customized health education that successfully induces a modification in a health-related behavior of an individual. It is another object of the invention to provide an automated system and method for health education that targets educational material to the specific motivational drivers, comprehension capacity, and preferred media of the individual. A further object of the invention is to provide a system and method for health education that allows adjustment of the educational material based on the individual's performance in modifying his or her behavior.
- the invention presents an automated system and method for providing customized health education to an individual at a remote terminal to induce a modification in a health-related behavior of the individual.
- the automated system is connected to the remote terminal via a communication network, such as a public communication network.
- the system includes a questionnaire generator for generating an interview form and for transferring the interview form through the communication network to the remote terminal.
- the interview form contains questions for determining a motivational driver, a comprehension capacity, and a preferred media of the individual.
- the system also includes a profile generator for receiving through the communication network questionnaire answers entered by the individual from the remote terminal and for generating from the questionnaire answers a motivational driver profile, a comprehension capacity profile, and a media selection profile of the individual.
- a translator is connected to the profile generator and the communication network for receiving through the communication network clinical data relating to a current health condition of the individual and for translating the clinical data, the motivational driver profile, the comprehension capacity profile, and the media selection profile into a profile code of the individual.
- An educational fulfillment bank is connected to the translator and the communication network.
- the educational fulfillment bank is for storing pieces of education material for inducing the modification of the health-related behavior, each piece of educational material having an index code, and for transferring through the communication network to the remote terminal at least one piece of educational material having an index code matching the profile code of the individual.
- the system also includes an evaluation program connected to the profile generator for evaluating educational responses of the individual to the educational material and for providing profile updates derived from the educational responses. In this manner, the progress of the individual attempting to modify his or her behavior is continuously monitored, and the system adjusts the targeting of the educational material based on the individual's performance in modifying his or her behavior.

- profile code 114 translator 18 first processes the received clinical data to determine the current clinical status of individual 36 . For example, if individual 36 is a diabetic and monitoring device 40 is a blood glucose meter, then device measurements 106 will indicate the current blood glucose levels of individual 36 and medical claims data 102 and medical records 104 will indicate in which specific aspects of diabetes related behavior individual 36 needs improvement.
- Translator 18 narrows the selection of profile code 114 to those profile codes corresponding to the determined clinical status of individual 36 .
- Next translator 18 determines which one of the profile codes corresponding to the determined clinical status of individual 36 best matches his or her motivational drivers, comprehension capacity, and preferred media as recorded in profiles 94 , 96 , and 98 , respectively. Once translator 18 selects the best match, profile code 114 is stored in profile database 20 and sent to educational fulfillment bank 22 .

Abstract
An automated system and method provides customized health education to an individual at a remote terminal to induce a modification in a health-related behavior of the individual. The automated system includes a questionnaire generator for questioning the individual to determine his or her motivational drivers and comprehension capacity. A profile generator receives answers entered by the individual from the remote terminal and generates a motivational driver profile and a comprehension capacity profile of the individual. A translator receives clinical data relating to a current health condition of the individual and translates the clinical data, the motivational driver profile, and the comprehension capacity profile into a profile code. An educational fulfillment bank matches the profile code to matching educational materials and transfers the matched educational materials to the remote terminal. An evaluation program evaluates educational responses of the individual and provides profile updates for targeting subsequent educational material to the individual based on the educational responses.
Description
- This invention is a continuation of Ser. No. 11/301,331, filed on Dec. 13, 2005, which is continuation of Ser. No. 09/540,482, filed on Mar. 31, 2000, now abandoned, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 09/394,219, filed on Sep. 13, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,375,469, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 08/814,293, filed on Mar. 10, 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,951,300, which is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 08/669,613, filed on Jun. 24, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,879,163, which are each incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to the field of on-line health education, and in particular to an automated system and method for providing customized health education to induce a modification in a health related behavior of an individual.
- The goal of most health education programs is to motivate individuals to modify their health-related behaviors to improve their current state of health or to reduce their health-related risks. In its simplest form, a health education program exposes an individual to information or instructions relating to a selected health behavior. The individual then may modify his or her behavior to accommodate the information and adhere to the instructions. The degree to which the individual modifies his or her health-related behavior and adheres to the instructions defines the individual's compliance to the health education program.
- In a health educational program in which adherence to the instructions would clearly benefit the health of the individual, one would expect a high degree of compliance. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. As an example, health-care providers, health-care payers, and government agencies have launched massive media campaigns to expose nearly the entire U.S. population to health information regarding the damaging effects of smoking cigarettes. The instructions to quit smoking and the health benefits obtainable by quitting are explicit. Nevertheless, a disappointingly small percentage of the target population responds to the anti-smoking campaign by attempting to quit smoking.
- One such anti-smoking campaign involves mailing a multiple page pamphlet to every household within a geographical region. The pamphlet is written in English and gives a detailed description of five medical conditions resulting from smoking: Emphysema, Pulmonary Carcinoma, Atherosclerosis, and Cerebral Hemorrhage. The pamphlet also informs the reader that by quitting smoking, he or she will experience a sixty percent reduction in the risk of contracting any of these ailments, a reduction that translates into a significant gain in life expectancy.
- Although this mass mailing method of health education sets forth explicit instructions and states compelling health reasons to follow the instructions, it has several disadvantages that prevent it from succeeding. First, the method fails to consider the comprehension capacity of the pamphlet's audience. For example, because the pamphlet is written in English, it may exclude roughly twenty-five percent of the population in the selected geographical region who read only Spanish.
- Further, the pamphlet describes the consequences of smoking using medical terminology like Emphysema, Pulmonary Carcinoma, etc. Twenty-five percent of the population in the selected region without a high school degree might prefer plain language, such as Stiff Lungs, Lung Cancer, Hardened Blood Vessels, and Stroke. The pamphlet quickly loses the attention of these recipients as well. As a result of its failure to consider the comprehension capacity of each individual recipient, the mass mailing method loses roughly half of the target population it intends to educate due to standardized language, standardized delivery, and standardized media.
- The mass mailing method of health education has a second disadvantage in failing to consider the evaluation and judgment of each individual receiving a pamphlet. Upon receiving the pamphlet, each individual will immediately decide if the topic discussed is relevant to his or her situation. Because the pamphlet is mailed to all households within a region, money is wasted by mailing the pamphlet to disinterested non-smokers. Additionally, the opening and reading of the anti-smoking pamphlet is tedious for the non-smokers. As a result, they might not even bother to open and read a subsequent pamphlet addressing a health topic relevant to their health condition.
- A third disadvantage of the mass mailing method is its inability to target specific motivating factors for behavior modification to each individual receiving a pamphlet. For example, the pamphlet addresses longevity of life associated with quitting smoking, but many individuals receiving the pamphlet may value the present far more than the future. Because the pamphlet does not address present day issues, such as coughing at night while trying to sleep or spending fifteen hundred dollars per year on cigarettes, the individual living for the present will not be motivated to quit smoking. Each individual has his or her own motivational drivers for inducing behavior modification that cannot be specifically targeted in a standardized pamphlet.
- A fourth disadvantage of the mass mailing method of health education is its inability to provide feedback and continued motivation to each individual recipient. Even if one individual did actually quit smoking as a result of reading the pamphlet, the individual would receive no specialized follow-up education for coping with nicotine withdrawal, weight gain, or other consequences of this behavioral change. Of course, mass mailing is just one example of a standardized broadcast media technique. The same disadvantages as those described for mass mailings hold for other broadcast media methods of health education.
- A completely customized educational solution for modifying health related behaviors can be accomplished using a private or semi-private educational environment. Within such an environment, it is possible to psychologically analyze each individual to identify his or her specific motivational drivers for making health-related decisions or modifying health-related behavior. The disadvantage of this private method is that it is too expensive and time consuming for a large percentage of the population to afford. As a result, it excludes this large percentage of the population who could significantly benefit from customized health education.
- Due to the disadvantages of private analysis and education, attempts have been made to implement computer-automated health education systems that are available to the general public. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,122 issued to Fuller et al. on Aug. 7, 1984 discloses a health potential summary and incentive system. The system reads and scores the answers to a printed questionnaire completed by an individual. The questionnaire includes questions to determine the individual's demographics, alcohol and tobacco usage, stress factors, exercise routines, and daily nutrition. Based on the individual's scored answers, the system prints a summary analysis of the individual's health condition in several health categories, as well as recommendations for improvement in each category.
- A similar system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,084,819 issued to Dewey et al. on Jan. 28, 1992. Dewey describes an expert data collection, analysis, and response system for reading and scoring a questionnaire form completed by an individual. The questionnaire includes questions to determine the individual's current health condition, such as his or her blood pressure, as well as the individual's alcohol and tobacco usage. The system prints for the individual specific recommendations based on the scored answers.
- The systems described by Fuller and Dewey have many of the same disadvantages as those described for the mass mailing method of health education and behavior modification. First, they only determine from a questionnaire what an individual's health-related behavior is. They fail to determine the specific motivational drivers each individual may have for changing the health related behavior. As a result, they give each individual very little personal incentive to make a significant behavioral change. Second, these systems described by Dewey and Fuller do not customize their printed summaries to conform to a specific comprehension capacity or media selection of the individual user. Consequently, they may exclude portions of the population who cannot fully understand or appreciate the printed recommendations. Third, these systems have no mechanism for continued feedback and support, so that even if an individual did temporarily comply with the recommendations, the individual would soon lose motivation to continue with his or her change in behavior.
- A system that attempts to overcome the problems associated with lack of continued motivational support is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,207,580 issued to Strecher on May 4, 1993. Strecher discloses a tailored health-related behavioral change and adherence system. In this system, an individual's answers to health-related questions are used to select instructional and motivational statements for changing a behavior of the individual. The instructional and motivational statements are then placed on dated pages, such as those of a calendar, corresponding to dates before, during, and after a selected change date for the health-related behavior.
- Although this calendar system described by Strecher does provide continued support to an individual attempting to modify his or her behavior, the continued support is not based on any performance feedback from the individual. Because the calendar is printed in advance on the basis of one questionnaire, the system has no mechanism for adjusting the educational and motivational material supplied to the individual in dependence upon new data relating to the individual's mental and physical health condition. Further, the Strecher system has no mechanism for tailoring the educational and motivational instructions to the specific comprehension capacity and preferred media of the individual user.
- Another system for providing positive motivational statements to an individual to effect a behavioral change is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,377,258 issued to Bro on Dec. 27, 1994. Bro describes an automated and interactive system that allows a doctor or trainer to produce and send a series of motivational messages and instructions to a client to motivate or reinforce a change in a specific behavioral problem.
- The system includes a client database for storing for each client a name, a calling schedule, and a personal identification number. The system further includes a client program that contains for each client motivational messages and questions for the client to answer. The system optionally includes an electronic weight scale, olfactory unit, or voice stress analyzer to collect additional data from the client. The client database and client program are operated by a computer that at preselected times sends the motivational messages or questions to the clients dual tone multifrequency telephone after the client has successfully transmitted to the computer a valid personal identification number.
- Although this system disclosed by Bro does provide continued feedback and motivational support to an individual, it suffers from two of the same disadvantages described earlier for the Fuller and Dewey systems. First, Bro does not teach the profiling of an individual to determine his or her specific motivational drivers for changing a health-related behavior. Consequently, the motivational support provided by the system may be ineffective for many of the individual clients. Secondly, the system has no mechanism for tailoring the motivational messages to the specific comprehension capacity and preferred media of an individual client. The system is only designed to play motivational messages or collect answers to questions using a telephone.
- Thus, none of the prior automated systems for providing health education to the general public effectively customize the educational material to correspond to the specific motivational drivers of each individual user. Further, none of the prior automated systems have a mechanism for customizing the educational material to conform to the comprehension capacity and preferred media of the individual user. Additionally, several of the systems lack any feedback mechanism for receiving evaluation data regarding the individual's performance in modifying his or her behavior and for providing the individual continued customized support for the behavioral change.
- In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide an automated system and method for customized health education that successfully induces a modification in a health-related behavior of an individual. It is another object of the invention to provide an automated system and method for health education that targets educational material to the specific motivational drivers, comprehension capacity, and preferred media of the individual. A further object of the invention is to provide a system and method for health education that allows adjustment of the educational material based on the individual's performance in modifying his or her behavior.
- These and other objects and advantages will become more apparent after consideration of the ensuing description and the accompanying drawings.
- The invention presents an automated system and method for providing customized health education to an individual at a remote terminal to induce a modification in a health-related behavior of the individual. The automated system is connected to the remote terminal via a communication network, such as a public communication network. The system includes a questionnaire generator for generating an interview form and for transferring the interview form through the communication network to the remote terminal. The interview form contains questions for determining a motivational driver, a comprehension capacity, and a preferred media of the individual.
- The system also includes a profile generator for receiving through the communication network questionnaire answers entered by the individual from the remote terminal and for generating from the questionnaire answers a motivational driver profile, a comprehension capacity profile, and a media selection profile of the individual. A translator is connected to the profile generator and the communication network for receiving through the communication network clinical data relating to a current health condition of the individual and for translating the clinical data, the motivational driver profile, the comprehension capacity profile, and the media selection profile into a profile code of the individual.
- An educational fulfillment bank is connected to the translator and the communication network. The educational fulfillment bank is for storing pieces of education material for inducing the modification of the health-related behavior, each piece of educational material having an index code, and for transferring through the communication network to the remote terminal at least one piece of educational material having an index code matching the profile code of the individual.
- In the preferred embodiment, the system also includes an evaluation program connected to the profile generator for evaluating educational responses of the individual to the educational material and for providing profile updates derived from the educational responses. In this manner, the progress of the individual attempting to modify his or her behavior is continuously monitored, and the system adjusts the targeting of the educational material based on the individual's performance in modifying his or her behavior.

system 10 is located atremote terminal 38.Remote terminal 38 is connected tocommunication network 26 through a modem M2 such thatremote terminal 38accesses system 10 for interactive education sessions through modem M2 andcommunication network 26. For simplicity, only oneremote terminal 38 is illustrated inFIG. 1 . It is obvious that many more remote terminals can be connected tocommunication network 26 for accessingsystem 10. - A
monitoring device 40 for monitoring a health condition ofindividual 36 is connected toremote terminal 38.Monitoring device 40 is capable of producing measurements of a physical characteristic of the health condition and of uploading the measurements toremote terminal 38 for transmission tosystem 10. In one possible embodiment, individual 36 is a diabetic andmonitoring device 40 is a blood glucose meter for measuring blood glucose levels ofindividual 36. In another embodiment, individual 36 is asthmatic andmonitoring device 40 is a peak flow meter for measuring the individual's peak flow levels. Specific techniques for connecting a monitoring device to a remote terminal for remote monitoring of an individual's health condition are well known in the art. -
Communication network 26 further connects a health-care provider 28 ofindividual 36 to profilecomputer 12.Provider 28 has amedical record database 30 for storing electronic medical records ofindividual 36.Medical record database 30 is connected tocommunication network 26 through a modem M3 such thatprofile computer 12 receives throughnetwork 26 the stored electronic medical records fromdatabase 30. Similarly,communication network 26 connects a managedcare organization 32 ofindividual 36 to profilecomputer 12.Organization 32 has amedical claims database 34 for storing medical claims data ofindividual 36.Medical claims database 34 is connected tocommunication network 26 through a modem M4 such thatprofile computer 12 receives throughnetwork 26 the stored medical claims data fromdatabase 34. -
Communication network 26 also connectseducation fulfillment bank 22 to an externaleducational source 31 having an additionaleducational material database 33.Database 33 is for storing additional educational materials for inducing a modification in the behavior ofindividual 36.Database 33 is connected tocommunication network 26 through a modem M5 such thateducational fulfillment bank 22 may transfer additional educational materials fromdatabase 33 toremote terminal 38 throughnetwork 26. - In the preferred embodiment,
communication network 26 is a public communication network, such as the Internet or public telephone network, andsystem 10,remote terminal 36, health-care provider 28, managedcare organization 32, andexternal source 31 connect to the public communication network through the use of modems, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . Of course, many other types of communication networks and connections to the communication networks may be employed without departing from the scope of the invention. Specific techniques for networking computer systems for on-line interaction are well known in the art. - Referring to
FIG. 2 ,questionnaire generator 14 is capable of generating aninteractive interview form 46 and of transferringinterview form 46 throughcommunication network 26 to the screen ofremote terminal 38. In the preferred embodiment,questionnaire generator 14 also includes a registration program for generating aregistration form 42 and for transferringregistration form 42 throughcommunication network 26 toremote terminal 38.Registration form 42 includes data fields for aname 50, alanguage 51, and acurrent health condition 52 ofindividual 36.Profile database 20 has storage capability for storing aregistration record 48 that includesname 50,language 51, andcurrent health condition 52 ofindividual 36. - In a typical implementation,
questionnaire generator 14 stores hundreds of questions in various languages relating to possible health conditions of individual 36, such as asthma, diabetes, nicotine addiction, etc. To narrow the focus ofinterview form 46,questionnaire generator 14 further includes an interviewform tailoring algorithm 44 for tailoringinterview form 46 in dependence uponlanguage 51 andcurrent health condition 52 ofindividual 36. For example, inFIG. 2 , individual 36 has indicated his language as “ENGLISH” and current health condition as “SMOKER” so that tailoringalgorithm 44tailors interview form 46 to contain English language questions pertaining to smoking and smoking related behaviors ofindividual 36. -
Interview form 46 is illustrated in greater detail inFIG. 3 .Interview form 46 contains a first category ofquestions 54 relating to the current health condition ofindividual 36.Category 54 is divided into a first subset ofquestions 56 for determining current diseases or symptoms ofindividual 36 and a second subset ofquestions 58 for determining the pattern and history data of the individual's health condition. In the example of the preferred embodiment in whichindividual 36 is a smoker,subset 56 asks about any current diseases or symptoms smoking has caused inindividual 36. Similarly,subset 58 asks for the pattern and history data of the individual's smoking habit. -
Interview form 46 further includes a second category ofquestions 60 for determining a motivational driver ofindividual 36.Category 60 is divided into six subsets ofquestions Subset 62 is for determining the value placed by individual 36 on longevity. For example, ifindividual 36 is a smoker,subset 62 includes questions to determine if the prospect of living a long life would provide sufficient motivation to quit smoking. -
Subset 64 is for determining the value placed by individual 36 on the quality of his or her life. In the smoking example,subset 64 includes questions to determine if an improvement in smoking symptoms, such as no longer suffering coughing fits, would provide sufficient motivation to quit smoking.Subset 66 is for determining the value placed by individual 36 on family life. In the smoking example,subset 66 includes questions to determine if an improvement in family life, such as no longer harming relatives with second hand smoke, would provide sufficient motivation to stop smoking.Subset 68 is for determining the value placed by individual 36 on social acceptability. In the smoking example,subset 68 includes questions to determine if an improvement in social acceptability, such as no longer offending people with bad breath, would provide sufficient motivation to quit smoking. -
Subset 70 is for determining the value placed by individual 36 on social responsibility. In the smoking example,subset 70 includes questions to determine if an improvement in social responsibility, such as not burdening society with the cost of Emphysema treatment, would positively motivate individual 36 to quit smoking.Subset 72 is for determining the value placed by individual 36 on economy. In the smoking example,subset 72 includes questions to determine if the cost savings associated with no longer purchasing cigarettes would provide sufficient motivation to quit smoking. -
Interview form 46 also includes a third category ofquestions 74 for determining a comprehension capacity ofindividual 36.Category 74 is divided into four subsets ofquestions Subset 76 is for determining an age ofindividual 76 andsubset 78 is for determining language skills ofindividual 36. Similarly,subset 80 is for determining reading habits ofindividual 76 andsubset 82 is for determining an educational background ofindividual 36. - A fourth category of
questions 84 is for determining a media preference ofindividual 84.Category 84 is divided into three subsets ofquestions Interview form 46 andeducational fulfillment bank 22 may offer other media choices in alternative embodiments, such as computer videos, musical lyrics, or hyper-text links. - Referring to
FIG. 4 ,profile generator 16 is designed to generate amotivational driver profile 94, acomprehension capacity profile 96, and amedia selection profile 98 from the questionnaire answers, as will be explained in the operation section below.Profile generator 16 further includes a confirmation program for sending aconfirmation form 110 toremote terminal 38.Confirmation form 110 includes a summary of each generatedprofile Profile database 20 is designed to store aprofile record 100 of individual 36 that includes his or her name, current health condition, and confirmed profiles. - Referring to
FIG. 5 ,translator 18 is designed to translate clinical data received throughnetwork 26 andprofiles profile generator 16 into aprofile code 114, as will be explained in the operation section below.Profile code 114 is for targeting specific educational material to individual 36 based on eachprofile medical claims data 102 received fromclaims database 34, electronicmedical records 104 received frommedical record database 30, anddevice measurements 106 received from monitoringdevice 40. -
Educational fulfillment bank 22 includes amatching program 116 for matchingprofile code 114 to anindex code 118 of a piece ofeducational material 120. In a typical implementation,educational material database 24 stores thousands of pieces of educational material, each having an index code, andmatching program 116 is a database query program for retrieving fromdatabase 24 each piece of educational material having an index code that matchesprofile code 114. Of course, the pieces of educational material stored indatabase 24 are index coded such that each matched piece has an educational content specifically targeted to individual 36 based on his or herprofile code 114.Matching program 116 is also capable of determining if additional educational materials appropriate forprofile code 114 should be transferred to terminal 38 from additionaleducational material database 33. - In the example of the preferred embodiment, in which
individual 36 is asked oninterview form 46 if he or she prefers text, pictures, or video games, piece ofeducational material 120 will be a text document, series of graphical pictures, or educational video game depending on the media selected byindividual 36. Of course, other types of media selections, including mixed media selections, are possible in alternative embodiments. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , piece ofeducational material 120 is designed to allow educational interaction betweenindividual 36 andsystem 10. For example, if the selected educational material is a text document or series of pictures, the text or pictures also include questions or prompts requiringeducational responses 124 fromindividual 36. If the selected educational material is an educational video game, individual 36 provideseducational responses 124 by playing the educational video game onterminal 38. -
Profile computer 12 includes aneducational performance evaluator 122 for interactively monitoringeducational responses 124.Evaluator 122 includes anevaluation algorithm 126 for evaluatingeducational responses 124 and for generatingprofile updates 128 derived fromeducational responses 124.Evaluator 122 is connected to profilegenerator 16 such thatgenerator 16 receives profile updates 128 and adjustprofiles - The operation of the preferred embodiment is illustrated in
FIGS. 7-8 .FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing a preferred method by whichsystem 10 provides customized health education to individual 36 to induce a modification in a health-related behavior ofindividual 36. Instep 200, the pieces of educational material for inducing the behavior modification ofindividual 36 are stored ineducational material database 24. Each piece of educational material is stored with an index code for designating its educational content. - In
step 202, individual 36 is registered inprofile computer 12. Referring toFIG. 2 , individual 36 accesses profilecomputer 12 throughremote terminal 38 andnetwork 26. Next,questionnaire generator 14transfers registration form 42 toremote terminal 38.Individual 36 enters his or hername 50,language 51, andcurrent health condition 52 into the appropriate fields inregistration form 42 and transfers the completedform 42 to profilecomputer 12.Profile computer 12 stores name 50,language 51, andcurrent health condition 52 asregistration record 48 inprofile database 20. - Next, in
step 204, interviewform tailoring algorithm 44tailors interview form 46 in dependence uponlanguage 51 andcurrent health condition 52. For example, inFIG. 2 , individual 36 has indicated that he is a smoker who reads English, so thatalgorithm 44tailors interview form 46 to include questions written in English relating to a smoking habit. After tailoringinterview form 46,questionnaire generator 14 transfers form 46 throughnetwork 26 toremote terminal 38,step 206. - Upon receiving
interview form 46, individual 36 enters inremote terminal 38 answers to each question and transfers the answers throughcommunication network 26 to profilecomputer 12.Profile computer 12 receives the answers,step 208, andprofile generator 16 generates from the received answersmotivational driver profile 94,comprehension capacity profile 96, andmedia selection profile 98,step 210. - To generate
motivational driver profile 94,profile generator 16 examines the answers to each question incategory 60 ofinterview form 46, as shown inFIG. 3 . For each of the six subsets ofquestions profile generator 16 scores the answers given byindividual 36 and adds the individual scores into a total score expressing the value placed by individual 36 on each motivating factor for modifying his or her behavior. - For example, in one possible embodiment, the total score for each motivating factor is constrained to be a number between 1 and 10 with 10 indicating the highest value placed on the motivating factor and 1 indicating the lowest value placed on the motivating factor. In this embodiment,
profile generator 16 scores the answers received for each of the six subsets of questions incategory 60 and calculates six numbers between 1 and 10 that numerically indicate the value placed by individual 36 on longevity, quality of life, family life, social acceptability, social responsibility, and economy. Of course, other scoring methods are possible in alternative embodiments. Specific techniques for scoring questionnaires in this manner are well known in the art. - Similarly,
profile generator 16 calculates numeric values from the answers received forcategory 74, comprehension capacity questions, andcategory 84, media preference questions, to createcomprehension capacity profile 96 andmedia selection profile 98, respectively.Profiles remote terminal 38 inconfirmation form 110, as shown inFIG. 4 .Individual 36 accepts or rejects each ofprofiles confirmation form 110 to profilecomputer 12 such thatform 110 is received byprofile generator 16.Profile generator 16 reads completedconfirmation form 110 to determine if each ofprofiles individual 36,decision step 212. - If each of
profiles profile record 100 ofprofile database 20,step 214. If any ofprofiles system 10 returns to step 204, tailoringinterview form 46 to repeat the interviewing process described above. Of course, if not all the profiles were rejected,profile generator 16 will only transfer the categories ofinterview form 46 relevant to the rejected profiles. - Next, in
step 216,translator 18 receives throughnetwork 26 clinical data relating tohealth condition 52 ofindividual 36. To receivemedical claims data 102,translator 18 accessesmedical claims database 34 throughnetwork 26 andqueries database 34 withname 50 ofindividual 36. Similarly, to receive electronicmedical records 104,translator 18 accessesmedical records database 30 throughnetwork 26 andqueries database 30 withname 50 ofindividual 36.Device measurements 106 are transferred from monitoringdevice 40 toterminal 38 and throughnetwork 26 so that they are received bytranslator 18. This completes the final step shown inFIG. 7 . The flow chart ofFIG. 7 continues inFIG. 8 . - Referring to
FIG. 8 , individual 36 next starts an interactive, on-line education session withsystem 10,step 218. At the start of the session,translator 18 translates the received clinical data and profiles 94, 96, and 98 intoprofile code 114 ofindividual 36,step 220. To produceprofile code 114,translator 18 first processes the received clinical data to determine the current clinical status ofindividual 36. For example, ifindividual 36 is a diabetic andmonitoring device 40 is a blood glucose meter, thendevice measurements 106 will indicate the current blood glucose levels ofindividual 36 andmedical claims data 102 andmedical records 104 will indicate in which specific aspects of diabetes related behavior individual 36 needs improvement.Translator 18 narrows the selection ofprofile code 114 to those profile codes corresponding to the determined clinical status ofindividual 36. -
Next translator 18 determines which one of the profile codes corresponding to the determined clinical status of individual 36 best matches his or her motivational drivers, comprehension capacity, and preferred media as recorded inprofiles translator 18 selects the best match,profile code 114 is stored inprofile database 20 and sent toeducational fulfillment bank 22. -
Matching program 116 then matchesprofile code 114 toindex code 118 of piece ofeducational material 120,step 222.Matching program 116 further determines ifeducational fulfillment bank 22 requiresexternal source 31 for additional educational material relevant toprofile code 114,decision step 224. If matchingprogram 116 determines that additional educational material is required,educational fulfillment bank 22 accessesexternal source 31,step 226, and transfers the additional educational material fromsource 31 toterminal 38. If matchingprogram 116 determines that additional educational material is not required,educational fulfillment bank 22 proceeds directly to step 228, transferringeducational material 120 throughnetwork 26 toremote terminal 38. - Upon receiving
educational material 120 atremote terminal 38, individual 36 begins an interactive learning process monitored byeducational performance evaluator 122. As shown inFIG. 6 , individual 36 is prompted to enter interminal 38educational responses 124 toeducational material 120. For example, if individual 36 indicated ininterview form 46 that he or she prefers educational video games,educational material 120 will be an educational video game requiring individual 36 to enterresponses 124. In another example, individual 36 may prefer text documents, so thateducational material 120 is an interactive text document with prompts individual 36 to provideeducational responses 124. -
Educational performance evaluator 122 receiveseducational responses 124 throughnetwork 26.Evaluation algorithm 126 then evaluateseducational responses 124 to determine an educational performance ofindividual 36,step 230. - Evaluation algorithm further generates profile updates 128 derived from
educational responses 124. For example, ifeducational responses 124 indicate that individual 36 does not understandeducational material 120, profile updates 128 will be updates amendingcomprehension capacity profile 96.Profile generator 16 receives profile updates 128 fromevaluator 122 and adjustsprofiles profile updates 128,step 232. - Next,
system 10 determines ifindividual 36 has requested an end to the interactive educational session,decision step 234. Ifindividual 36 has not requested an end,system 10 returns to step 220, generatingprofile code 114 based on adjustedprofiles individual 36 does request an end to the session, adjustedprofiles profile database 20 for a subsequent educational session and the current session ends,step 236. - Before the start of the subsequent education session,
translator 18 receives updated clinical data throughnetwork 26 to determine ifindividual 36 has made an improvement in his or her health-related behavior. Based on the updated clinical data and adjustedprofiles translator 18 generates a new profile code for targeting educational material toindividual 36. In this manner,system 10 provides on-going adjustment to the educational material targeted to individual 36 based on the individual's performance in modifying his or her behavior. - Although the above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention but merely as illustrations of the presently preferred embodiment.
