The nesting as illustrated in
A health regimen data entity may be associated with another health regimen data entity in a variety of ways. The first health regimen data entity may be associated with the second health regimen data entity with an item of associative information associated with one or the other or both. The first health regimen data entity may be associated with the second health regimen data entity as well as with additional health regimen data entities simultaneously. The multiply-referenced health regimen data entity may actually be multiple health regimen data entities in the data structure, or it may be a single health regimen data entity with multiple items of associative information used to reference it.
Although shown for clarity in
The topic 500, “Substances/Procedures,” may include common, generic, commercial, and/or trade names and/or descriptions for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, veterinary, dietary, and/or nutritional substances, procedures, processes, and/or practices of interest to an end-user 102.
The topic 502, “Functions,” may include one or more descriptions of functions for which the substances of the topic 500, “Substances/Procedures” may be used by humans in connection with human physical and/or mental conditions, and/or veterinary purposes.
The topic 504, “Substitutes,” may include common, generic, commercial, and/or trade names and/or descriptions for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, veterinary, dietary, and/or nutritional substances, procedures, processes, and/or practices of interest to an end-user 102, which may be substituted to perform functions associated with the topic 502, “Functions.”
The topic 506 “Supporting Reasons,” may include explanations for the functionality of the substances/procedures and substitutes included in the topics 500, “Substances/Procedures” and 504, “Substitutes.”
The topic 508, “Supporting Authorities,” may include the identities and credentials of people and/or entities which endorse the use of substances/procedures and substitutes for various functions. The supporting authorities may include medical and/or veterinary professionals and/or experts of various kinds (“gurus”), and/or manufacturers and/or distributors of substances/procedures and substitutes. The topic 508, “Supporting Authorities,” may also include testimonials and/or reports and/or anecdotal evidence from other end-users 102, and may include descriptors of factors associated with those end-users 102 to permit manual or automatic correlation of their experience with the potential experience of the end-user 102 consulting the data structure.
The topic 510, “Supporting Literature,” may include references to published articles and/or other publicly available information, by citation and/or hyperlink and/or other reference means, e.g., referred journal articles and/or magazine articles and/or website articles, pertaining to the functionality of substances/procedures and substitutes.
The topic 512, “Extant Conditions,” may include one or more selections of descriptors that describe internal physical and/or mental and/or environmental and/or spiritual and/or metaphysical factors of interest to the end-user 102 and of possible relevance to the functionality of substances/procedures and substitutes. Internal physical factors may include body temperature, medical condition, genetic information, and/or substances/procedures or substitutes ingested or to be ingested. Mental factors may include a diagnosed mental condition, a subjective mental state, genetic information, and/or substances/procedures or substitutes ingested or to be ingested. Environmental factors may include external temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, ambient light intensity, and, for some, the date, the positions of the planets, geographical factors such as those relevant to feng shui, and/or other factors relevant to disciplines, traditions, and arts considered relevant by the end-user 102 and/or by a contributor of information to the data structure and/or by a third-party authority such as an expert or a source for acquisition. Where feasible, values for external factors may be provided to the data structure in the form of health regimen data entities representing the output of instrumentation, e.g., weather instrumentation or medical instrumentation.
The topic 514, “Sources for Acquisition,” may include identities of, contact information for, and/or channels of communication with persons and/or entities from which substances/procedures or substitutes may be purchased or otherwise acquired by the end-user 102. Such sources may pay to be included in the data structure in association with this topic.
The topic 516, “Taxonomic Classes,” may include various categories with which substances/procedures and/or substitutes may be associated, e.g. acids, derivatives from X, etc.
The topic 518, “Synergies,” may include substances/procedures, substitutes activities, and/or extant conditions that, acting together with a substance or substitute, enhance the functionality of the substance or substitute; favorably change the amount or timing or the substance or substitute needed for the desired functionality; and/or provide one or more additional desirable functionalities beyond those associated with the substance or substitute taken by itself.
The topic 520, “Things to Avoid,” may include substances/procedures, substitutes, activities, and/or extant conditions that, acting together with a substance or substitute, detracts from the functionality of the substance or substitute; unfavorably changes the amount or timing or the substance or substitute needed for the desired functionality; and/or provides one or more additional undesirable functionalities beyond those associated with the substance or substitute taken by itself.
The topic 522, “Dosing,” may include information pertaining to the mode, amount, conditions, and/or timing of the delivery of a substance or substitute to achieve the desired functionality, along with synergies and things to avoid, e.g., 200 mg capsules of Substance A, taken twice daily when sunny and thrice daily when cloudy or raining; or once daily under any conditions no matter the weather, and never to be taken when Substance B has been taken within 24 hours. Beyond that simple example, the topic 522, “Dosing,” may include a procedure for determining an amount and/or timing for the substance to be taken, rather than a simple fixed value, along with factors that give the end-user 102 options based on probabilities and other factors such as extant conditions, e.g., when the weather is hot and the end-user 102 is feeling irritable, an option to reduce a lithium dose by one pill per day, and if that does not work, by two pills per day, but never by more than two pills per day. These options and alternatives to them may also be accessed by associations with other health regimen data entities, including, e.g., hot days, lithium, and/or irritability.
The topic 524, “Formulations,” may include information pertaining to the constituents of a substance, including but not limited to the identities of the constituents, the amounts of the constituents present per unit of the substance, and/or the method(s) for combining the constituents to form the substance. In particular, the amounts of the constituents may be represented by listing the amounts numerically, and/or by a formula or formulas from which each constituent amount may be derived either by the end-user 102 or by computational resources associated with the data structure. In an embodiment, the end-user 102 may follow items of associative information to health regimen data entities and/or additional information that provide information on the sources of formulary information, e.g., an article on an experiment, or on the instruments that provided the formulary information, e.g., an indication of what the underlying methodology of selection is at least partially based upon (e.g., animal studies, human studies, in silico studies, speculation, anecdotal information, historical accounts, traditions, cultural practices, native practices, etc.
The topic 526, “Delivery,” may include information on methods of delivery, e.g., orally by capsule, orally by liquid dose, epidermally by patch, injection by syringe, and/or internally by timed release from an implanted reservoir, and on formulations, dose sizes, and dose timings associated with various delivery methods.
The end-user 102 may search the data structure for patterns, finding correlations between health regimen data entities that would otherwise not be discoverable or that would be very difficult to discover. For example, the end-user 102 may search for effects of Substance A on skin rashes in conditions of high humidity, searching, among other health regimen data entities, those including anecdotal evidence from users of Substance A in high humidity, where the users of Substance A also had skin rashes and reported apparent effects of Substance A on those rashes. Such searches for correlations may include information and observations added to the data structure by all or any of the end-users 102, vendors 108, and/or publishers 112 using the data structure. Such searches may be used to test hypotheses about the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, veterinary, dietary, and/or nutritional substances, procedures, processes, and/or practices of interest.
As mentioned above, end-users 102 may add health regimen data entities to the data structure to report experiences with the use of substances/procedures. For example, an end-user 102 may integrate a report of an experience, e.g., partial success with the use of Substance B for reduction of hair loss in low-humidity conditions but little success in conditions of high-humidity, by selecting pre-existing health regimen data entities with which to associate new health regimen data entities that represent relevant elements of his report, and/or by associating new health regimen data entities that represent relevant elements of his report with pre-existing annotations to pre-existing health regimen data entities added by other end-users 102 with similar reports. An end-user 102 may also add health regimen data entities representing the results of correlative searches such as those described above, e.g., by adding health regimen data entities representing the results of such a search and associating them with pre-existing health regimen data entities associated with, e.g., a Substance C used to alleviate heartburn in connection with particular dietary conditions.
In using the data structure, the end-user 102 may impose his own schema on the information searched and on the output of the search. The end-user 102 may explicitly include or exclude for search purposes health regimen data entities representing factors such as weather information or astrological information. He may include or exclude for search results reporting purposes various complexities, e.g., including tables of correlations for further study, but excluding such information and including only lists of ingredients and instructions for purposes of making a particular substance for use or lists of dosages to serve as input into medical dispensing devices, either indirectly through human input to devices or automatically through direct input of dosage information to devices.
Those having skill in the art will recognize that the state of the art has progressed to the point where there is little distinction left between hardware and software implementations of aspects of systems; the use of hardware or software is generally (but not always, in that in certain contexts the choice between hardware and software can become significant) a design choice representing cost vs. efficiency tradeoffs. Those having skill in the art will appreciate that there are various vehicles by which processes and/or systems and/or other technologies described herein can be effected (e.g., hardware, software, and/or firmware), and that the preferred vehicle will vary with the context in which the processes and/or systems and/or other technologies are deployed. For example, if an implementer determines that speed and accuracy are paramount, the implementer may opt for a mainly hardware and/or firmware vehicle; alternatively, if flexibility is paramount, the implementer may opt for a mainly software implementation; or, yet again alternatively, the implementer may opt for some combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware. Hence, there are several possible vehicles by which the processes and/or devices and/or other technologies described herein may be effected, none of which is inherently superior to the other in that any vehicle to be utilized is a choice dependent upon the context in which the vehicle will be deployed and the specific concerns (e.g., speed, flexibility, or predictability) of the implementer, any of which may vary. Those skilled in the art will recognize that optical aspects of implementations will typically employ optically-oriented hardware, software, and or firmware.
The foregoing detailed description has set forth various embodiments of the devices and/or processes via the use of block diagrams, flowcharts, and/or examples. Insofar as such block diagrams, flowcharts, and/or examples contain one or more functions and/or operations, it will be understood by those within the art that each function and/or operation within such block diagrams, flowcharts, or examples can be implemented, individually and/or collectively, by a wide range of hardware, software, firmware, or virtually any combination thereof. In one embodiment, several portions of the subject matter described herein may be implemented via Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), digital signal processors (DSPs), or other integrated formats. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that some aspects of the embodiments disclosed herein, in whole or in part, can be equivalently implemented in integrated circuits, as one or more computer programs running on one or more computers (e.g., as one or more programs running on one or more computer systems), as one or more programs running on one or more processors (e.g., as one or more programs running on one or more microprocessors), as firmware, or as virtually any combination thereof, and that designing the circuitry and/or writing the code for the software and or firmware would be well within the skill of one of skill in the art in light of this disclosure. In addition, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the mechanisms of the subject matter described herein are capable of being distributed as a program product in a variety of forms, and that an illustrative embodiment of the subject matter described herein applies equally regardless of the particular type of signal bearing media used to actually carry out the distribution. Examples of a signal bearing media include, but are not limited to, the following: recordable type media such as floppy disks, hard disk drives, CD ROMs, digital tape, and computer memory; and transmission type media such as digital and analog communication links using TDM or IP based communication links (e.g., packet links).
In a general sense, those skilled in the art will recognize that the various aspects described herein which can be implemented, individually and/or collectively, by a wide range of hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof can be viewed as being composed of various types of “electrical circuitry.” Consequently, as used herein “electrical circuitry” includes, but is not limited to, electrical circuitry having at least one discrete electrical circuit, electrical circuitry having at least one integrated circuit, electrical circuitry having at least one application specific integrated circuit, electrical circuitry forming a general purpose computing device configured by a computer program (e.g., a general purpose computer configured by a computer program which at least partially carries out processes and/or devices described herein, or a microprocessor configured by a computer program which at least partially carries out processes and/or devices described herein), electrical circuitry forming a memory device (e.g., forms of random access memory), and/or electrical circuitry forming a communications device (e.g., a modem, communications switch, or optical-electrical equipment).
Those skilled in the art will recognize that it is common within the art to describe devices and/or processes in the fashion set forth herein, and thereafter use engineering practices to integrate such described devices and/or processes into image processing systems. That is, at least a portion of the devices and/or processes described herein can be integrated into an image processing system via a reasonable amount of experimentation. Those having skill in the art will recognize that a typical image processing system generally includes one or more of a system unit housing, a video display device, a memory such as volatile and non-volatile memory, processors such as microprocessors and digital signal processors, computational entities such as operating systems, drivers, and applications programs, one or more interaction devices, such as a touch pad or screen, control systems including feedback loops and control motors (e.g., feedback for sensing lens position and/or velocity; control motors for moving/distorting lenses to give desired focuses. A typical image processing system may be implemented utilizing any suitable commercially available components, such as those typically found in digital still systems and/or digital motion systems.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that it is common within the art to describe devices and/or processes in the fashion set forth herein, and thereafter use engineering practices to integrate such described devices and/or processes into data processing systems.

All of the above U.S. patents, U.S. patent application publications, U.S. patent applications, foreign patents, foreign patent applications and non-patent publications referred to in this specification and/or listed in any Application Data Sheet, are incorporated herein by reference, in their entireties.
The herein described subject matter sometimes illustrates different components contained within, or connected with, different other components. It is to be understood that such depicted architectures are merely exemplary, and that in fact many other architectures can be implemented which achieve the same functionality. In a conceptual sense, any arrangement of components to achieve the same functionality is effectively “associated” such that the desired functionality is achieved. Hence, any two components herein combined to achieve a particular functionality can be seen as “associated with” each other such that the desired functionality is achieved, irrespective of architectures or intermedial components. Likewise, any two components so associated can also be viewed as being “operably connected”, or “operably coupled”, to each other to achieve the desired functionality, and any two components capable of being so associated can also be viewed as being “operably couplable”, to each other to achieve the desired functionality. Specific examples of operably couplable include but are not limited to physically mateable and/or physically interacting components and/or wirelessly interactable and/or wirelessly interacting components and/or logically interacting and/or logically interactable components.
While particular aspects of the present subject matter described herein have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that, based upon the teachings herein, changes and modifications may be made without departing from the subject matter described herein and its broader aspects and, therefore, the appended claims are to encompass within their scope all such changes and modifications as are within the true spirit and scope of this subject matter described herein. Furthermore, it is to be understood that the invention is defined by the appended claims. It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.).
