Abstract: Introduced here are health management platforms able to infer the health state of a subject based on behavioral changes reflected in the digital activities performed by a subject. A health management platform can initially acquire contextual data pertaining to digital activities performed by the subject. The health management platform can identify the target(s) of the digital activities by parsing the contextual data, and then compile the digital activities and corresponding activities into a personalized valence index. Thereafter, the health management platform can compare digital activities performed by the subject to the entries included in the personalized valence index. If a matching entry is not discovered, the health management platform can identify an instance of behavior change. These instances of behavior change may be indicative of changes in the subject's health state.

Abstract: A computer aided medical method includes the following steps. An initial symptom of a patient and context information is collected through an interaction interface. Actions in a series are sequentially generated according to the candidate prediction models and the initial symptom. Each of the actions corresponds to one of the inquiry actions or one of the disease prediction actions. If the latest one of the sequential actions corresponds to one of the disease prediction actions, potential disease predictions are generated in a first ranking evaluated by the candidate prediction models. The first ranking is adjusted into a second ranking according to the context information. A result prediction corresponding to the potential disease predictions is generated in the second ranking.
