  • Publication number: 20040064266
    Abstract: The computerized system and method represents judgments of a user and records the judgments and the judgment making process. In one embodiment, the computerized method displays multiple concept representations simultaneously, receives a user-manipulated adjustment to one or more of the concept representations to create a judgment representation, and records the judgment representation(s) and user-manipulated adjustment(s). The judgment representations and adjustments are preferably recorded continuously so that the judgment process can be reviewed and evaluated. The concept representations can be displayed relative to other concept representations and/or relative to a rating scale. In another embodiment, the computerized method displays a physical context representation and the judgments are represented and recorded as user designated locations in the physical context. One example of an application for the system and method is to record and evaluate a patient's judgments with respect to pain.

  • Publication number: 20020120625
    Abstract: The computerized system and method for representing and recording multidimensional judgments displays multiple judgment representations and receives a user-manipulated adjustment to one or more of the judgment representations. According to a system and method for representing and recording independent multidimensional judgments, multiple adjustable graphical judgment representations (e.g., bars) are displayed simultaneously and adjusted independently of one another. According to a system and method for representing and recording constrained multidimensional judgments, one or more of the other judgment representations are dynamically adjusted when the user makes an adjustment, for example, according to a fixed resource technique. Each user adjustment can be recorded to allow the judgment decisions to be evaluated.
