Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing medical or medical-related diagnosis and treatment, and, more particularly, for implementing risk assessment for suicide and treatment based on interaction with virtual clinician, food intake tracking, and/or satiety determination. In various embodiments, a computing system might generate a virtual clinician capable of simulating facial expressions and body expressions, and might cause, using a display device and/or an audio output device, the generated virtual clinician to interact with a patient. The computing system might analyze the interactions between the virtual clinician and the patient (and in some cases, food intake data) to determine likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient, and, based on a determination that a likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient exceeds a first predetermined threshold value, might send an alert message to one or more healthcare professionals regarding the likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing eating disorder diagnosis based on analysis of patient responses to a set of questions having closed-ended answer options. In various embodiments, a computing system might autonomously determine a diagnosis of whether the first patient has an eating disorder, based on logistic regression analysis of a first set of patient responses to the set of questions. If so, the computing system might autonomously identify a first set of weighted values and a second set of weighted values each corresponding to each of the received first set of patient responses from the first patient; might autonomously calculate a first probability of diagnosis of a first eating disorder and a second probability of diagnosis of a second eating disorder; might autonomously identify which eating disorder the first patient is likely to have; and might display the identified eating disorder.

Abrégé

The invention regards monitoring and modification of eating behavior through continuous meal weight measurements, and has been successfully applied in clinical practice to treat obesity and eating disorders. For this purpose, the Mandometer ®, a plate scale, along with video recordings of subjects during the course of single meals, has been used to assist clinicians in measuring relevant food intake parameters. In this work, we present a novel algorithm for automatically constructing a subject's food intake curve using only the Mandometer ® weight measurements. This eliminates the need for direct clinical observation or video recordings, thus significantly reducing the manual effort required for analysis. The proposed algorithm aims at identifying specific meal related events (e.g. bites, food additions, artifacts), by applying an adaptive pre-processing stage using Delta coefficients, followed by event detection based on a parametric Probabilistic Context-Free Grammar on the derivative of the recorded sequence. Experimental results on a dataset of 114 meals from individuals suffering from obesity or eating disorders, as well as from individuals with normal BMI, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The invention regards a medical apparatus made up of at least two devices (30, 32) adapted to measure eating rate utilized to teach persons to eat according to a predetermined graphic eating curve (10, 24) displayed on a screen, and a method therefore. There are means in a memory automatically calculating equations for predetermined eating curves (10, 24) based on data obtained from a cumulative food intake in a control meal through an introductory curve followed by training curves. The cumulative food intake is fitted to a quadratic equation y=ax2+bx+c, where the parameter y represents food intake, and represents a change in the slope of the curve over time x, b represents a constant slope of the curve over time, the initial rate of eating, and c represents food intake at the start of a meal, whereby the introductory curve has the same properties as the cumulative food intake obtained in a control meal.
