Abstract: New systems, devices, methods and other techniques for eliciting, standardizing and recording patient-reported data in clinical healthcare settings are provided. A new form of specialized computer hardware and software control system is provided, applying new machine learning techniques for translating patients' freeform verbalizations and other patient-reported data to standardized significance codes. In some embodiments, the system also translates such significance codes into standardized medical terminology that is more easily actionable by healthcare providers, as part of a new form of personal health record generated by patients (“PHRP”). In some embodiments, health-related data is normalized based on techniques known as translation vectors. Such translation vectors generate standardized significance codes based on common usage of terms by user(s) of the control system (e.g.
