Abstract: Databases comprising autonomous or semi-autonomous platforms for the diagnosis and treatment of patient conditions are disclosed. A CarePod is configured to be a system for affecting an authenticatable, HIPAA-compliant communications and monitoring platform to facilitate patient's on-going diagnosis and treatment of a given condition. In the area of psychotherapy, CarePod/IA may affect methods for allowing new members into the treatment group by directing a set of diagnostic tools and tests, ingesting response data, re-evaluating such response data to fine tune diagnosis as to patient's condition. Facilitated communications by and between members may be monitored by and between members by a CarePod/IA and, depending upon threshold conditions, may either update a patient's care dashboard/record or take a plurality of actions (e.g., emergency responses) as the situation dictates.
