Systems and techniques for recommending personalized health care based on demographics

Abstract:

Computer program products are configured to perform methods for determining likely health conditions based on demographic information and/or determining appropriate wearable technology and services to monitor a patient's health. In one embodiment, a computer program product is configured to perform a method including receiving historical demographic data comprising a plurality of attributes; associating the historical demographic data with labels corresponding to known causes of particular health conditions; building a decision tree model using the historical demographic data and the associated label(s); generating a vector Y.sub.k using the model, Y.sub.k representing probable causes of a plurality of health conditions; and determining likely health conditions for a patient based on comparing the vector Y.sub.k to a second vector Z.sub.k, Z.sub.k representing probable causes of health conditions determined based on a health care record for the patient. Appropriate wearables for tracking the health of the patient may be determined using textual analysis.
