METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CREATING A PREVENTATIVE CARE PLAN IN MENTAL ILLNESS TREATMENT

摘要

Disclosed are methods, systems, and devices for generating sleep predicators to avoid preventable mental episodes from breaking through, thereby averting an irreversible brain damage to a patient, that may be caused by such future mental episodes. In one embodiment, the present invention is a method comprising: acquiring biomedical data from a patient by using a means of signal acquisition; forming a database of the biomedical records in which the database further comprises a sleep prediction algorithm, psychiatric records, and a statistical engine to compute the data and the psychiatric records using the algorithm; mapping the acquired data in reference to the sleep prediction algorithm; validating the sleep predictors; and providing an output of the sleep predicators to a patient or caretaker. The present invention can be used to treat mania, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, anxiety, and other chronic mental health conditions.
