  • Publication number: 20240096455
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic health data processing are disclosed. One or more complaints are extracted from question and answer data of an automated patient interview. A parent-child symptom mapping is referenced to identify a respective parent symptom corresponding to each complaint. Based on the question and answer data, a presence or absence of evidence of the child symptoms associated with each identified parent symptom is determined. The child symptoms are categorized into a positive or negative category based on the determination. An object is generated that includes, for each of the complaints, a positive and negative list of any of the child symptoms included in the positive and negative category, respectively. The object is processed to generate a history of present illness (HPI) portion of a notation in a graphical format. The notation is stored in the patient's electronic health record, and a healthcare provider notification is transmitted.
