  • Patent number: 11621090
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a server computer system that can create a patient profile identifying a group of individuals including a user of a client device and only one patient corresponding to an individual other than the user of the client device. The patient profile can include an assessment and a treatment for the patient based on the assessment. The server computer system can receive, from the client device over a computer network, data values selected by the user of the client device, where the data values are indicative of observations of the patient's activity. The server computer system can further update the patient profile based on the received data values such that the data values influence the treatment, and send, to the client device over the computer network, a message including guidance for the user of the client device to implement the treatment.
