Abstract: A system and method to provide patient education prior to surgery or post-surgery is disclosed. The patient education can be customized based on different factors and provided in a progressive sequence. Patients may be required to complete patient educational lessons and also provide feedback to assess how they are doing. Due to a variety of patient circumstances and the potential for abrupt changes in patient health status prior to, during, or following a health procedure, it is necessary for patient education to adapt to a patient's changing needs. The disclosure describes a technique to assign patient education materials in an adaptive and responsive manner.
