Abstract: A system utilizing a software program used to write other software application programs for the implementation of guideline applications for use in situations where a qualification decision or next course of action determination must be made. The system uses questions with limited choice answers. Data provided in answer to the questions causes a second program application to be automatically generated based on the answers. The second application then elicits responses in an interactive manner. Qualification decisions and courses of action are suggested as an output of the second application. Means are provided for evaluating the reliability of the suggestions based on consistency of answers and fatigue of the user. Means are also provided for editing either application program.

Abstract: A hand-held, battery-powered medical questionnaire presentation device is provided for use by a patient. The device has means for displaying questions to the patient, a limited number of keys by which the patient can enter answers, and a memory device for storing the patient's answers. The device is controlled by a pre-programmed microcomputer which stores in a memory the text of user instructions, medical or health-related questions, and words to be used in printed reports. The microcomputer is programmed to tally the patient's answers and, on the basis of that information and objective data supplied by a medical staffer, to present an evaluation of aspects of the patient's medical condition or health status.
