Abstract

Systems and methods for generating a diagnosis are provided. In some aspects, a computing device receives medical information for a patient, wherein each medical information item in the medical information comprises a date, a source, and a medical state. The computing device constructs, in a memory of the computing device, a diagnosis tree for the patient, wherein the diagnosis tree comprises a patient node, the patient node having first children nodes corresponding to the dates or the sources, and the first children nodes having second children nodes corresponding to the medical states. The computing device generates a diagnosis for the patient using the constructed diagnosis tree.

First claim

1 - 21 . (canceled)

22 . A method comprising receiving, at a computing device, reports of patients having a set of medical states, each report being associated with a same geographic area;
determining, based on data stored in a medical data repository, that the set of medical states is associated with a specified condition; determining an outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area based on the reports of the patients having the set of medical states; and providing an indication of the outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area.

23 . The method of claim 22 , wherein the set of medical states comprises a set of symptoms, signs, findings, or test results.

24 . The method of claim 22 , wherein the specified condition comprises a diagnosable disease.

25 . The method of claim 22 , wherein determining that the set of medical states is associated with the specified condition comprises diagnosing, via the computing device, the patients as having the specified condition.

26 . The method of claim 22 , wherein the geographic area comprises a metropolitan area, corresponds to a geographic location of treatment facilities generating the reports, or corresponds to a default geographic location of the patients, and wherein the default geographic location of each patient is obfuscated.

27 . (canceled)

28 . (canceled)

29 . The method of claim 22 , wherein each report of each patient having the set of medical states lacks a geographic location, within the geographic area, associated with the corresponding patient.

30 . The method of claim 22 , wherein providing the indication of the outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area comprises providing, via a display unit of the computing device, the indication of the outbreak or providing, via an electronic message transmitted from the computing device, the indication of the outbreak.

31 . (canceled)

32 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to:
receive reports of patients having a set of medical states, each report being associated with a same geographic area; determine, based on data stored in a medical data repository, that the set of medical states is associated with a specified condition; determine an outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area based on the reports of the patients having the set of medical states; and provide an indication of the outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area.

33 . The computer-readable medium of claim 32 , wherein the set of medical states comprises a set of symptoms, signs, findings, or test results.

34 . The computer-readable medium of claim 32 , wherein the specified condition comprises a diagnosable disease.

35 . The computer-readable medium of claim 32 , wherein the instructions to determine that the set of medical states is associated with the specified condition comprises instructions which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to diagnose the patients as having the specified condition.

36 . The computer-readable medium of claim 32 , wherein the geographic area comprises a metropolitan area, corresponds to a geographic location of treatment facilities generating the reports, or corresponds to a default geographic location of the patients, and wherein the default geographic location of each patient is obfuscated.

37 . (canceled)

38 . (canceled)

39 . The computer-readable medium of claim 32 , wherein each report of each patient having the set of medical states lacks a geographic location, within the geographic area, associated with the corresponding patient.

40 . The computer-readable medium of claim 32 , wherein the instructions to provide the indication of the outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area comprise instructions which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to provide, via a display unit of the one or more computers, the indication of the outbreak or provide, via an electronic message transmitted from the one or more processors, the indication of the outbreak.

41 . (canceled)

42 . A system comprising:
one or more processors; and a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: receive reports of patients having a set of medical states, each report being associated with a same geographic area; determine, based on data stored in a medical data repository, that the set of medical states is associated with a specified condition; determine an outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area based on the reports of the patients having the set of medical states; and provide an indication of the outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area.

43 . The system of claim 42 , wherein the set of medical states comprises a set of symptoms, signs, findings, or test results.

44 . (canceled)

45 . The system of claim 42 , wherein the instructions to determine that the set of medical states is associated with the specified condition comprises instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to diagnose the patients as having the specified condition.

46 . The system of claim 42 , wherein the geographic area comprises a metropolitan area, corresponds to a geographic location of treatment facilities generating the reports, or corresponds to a default geographic location of the patients, and wherein the default geographic location of each patient is obfuscated.

47 . (canceled)

48 . (canceled)

49 . The system of claim 42 , wherein each report of each patient having the set of medical states lacks a geographic location, within the geographic area, associated with the corresponding patient.

50 . The system of claim 42 , wherein the instructions to provide the indication of the outbreak of the specified condition in the geographic area comprise instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to provide, via a display unit, the indication of the outbreak or provide, via an electronic message transmitted from the one or more processors, the indication of the outbreak.
