5. The method according to claim 3, wherein the method also includes gaining further sensor input data.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein the method includes a dynamic adaption of the patient specific content and/or the communication flow based on the further patient input data and/or the further sensor input data.

7. A method for treating a patient with an auto immune disease, an infection disease or cancer or for preventing the patient from developing such a disease, said method comprising the steps of: administering to the patient a drug or a vaccine, said drug or vaccine aimed at treating or preventing the disease or cancer, wherein the method further comprises conducting a computer-implemented method according to claim 1.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the method comprises the steps of: assessing the dosage of the drug based on gained patient input data or sensor input data and possibly suggesting an amendment of the dosage based on the assessment to the patient and/or a doctor.

9. A device for conducting a method according to claim 1, wherein the device includes an assessment unit, said assessment unit configured to assemble a patient specific content and to present the content in a patient status sensitive, tailored way in a communication flow.

10. (canceled)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which a program is stored, which, after being loaded into the memory of a computer, enables the computer to carry out a method for allowing the immune system of a patient to better function, said method comprising: gaining patient input data from the patient by presenting at least one page through an interface to the patient together with selection possibilities, assessing a patient specific psychological and/or social and/or medical status including the communication type of the patient based on at least one selection of the patient to the page, and assembling a patient specific content and presenting it in a patient status sensitive, tailored way in a communication flow, wherein the communication flow includes a set of pages and selection possibilities of the patient in cooperation with a device having an assessment unit, said assessment unit configured to assemble a patient specific content and to present the content in a patient status sensitive, tailored way in a communication flow.

12. The method according to claim 5, wherein the method includes a dynamic adaption of the patient specific content and/or the communication flow based on the further sensor input data.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The above-mentioned and the other features of the invention disclosed herein are described below with reference to the drawings of the preferred embodiments. The illustrated embodiments are intended to illustrate, but not to limit the inventions. The drawings contain the following figures:

[0038] FIG. 1: a schematic flow chart of a method according to the invention; and

[0039] FIG. 2: a schematic overview of a device according to the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] FIG. 1 shows a schematic flow chart of a computer implemented method 10 according to the invention as well as of a method 100 for treating a patient with an autoimmune disease, an infection disease or cancer. Both methods can be used to prevent such a disease.

[0041] The method 100 can include administering 101 to the patient a drug or a vaccine aimed at treating or preventing an above named disease.

[0042] In parallel, the method 100 can include conducting the computer implemented method 10 which will be described in the following. The computer implemented method 10 includes gaining 11 patient input data by presenting 12 at least one page through an interface to the patient together with selection possibilities. Further, the method 10 can include gaining 13 sensor input data by means of a sensor. The method 100 can further include assessing 14 a communication type as well as a patient specific psychological and/or social and/or medical current status in addition to a preferred outcome (by the patient and/or the therapy concept). This input is based on the at least one selection to the at least one page. Based on the assessment as well as preferably on the sensor input data a patient content will be assembled 15 which is aimed a triggering an effect, especially a balancing effect, on the immune system. The balancing effect aims at bringing an imbalance, such as e.g. a hyperactive state of a conically inflamed immune system, back into its normal response range. Once a patient content is assembled it is presented 16 by pages according to a communication flow. Further patient input data is gained 17 and the respective selections of the patient can be assessed 19. In addition, further sensor input data can be gained 18. Based on the newly gained input data the patient content can dynamically be adapted 40.

[0043] The method 100 for treating a patient with an autoimmune disease, an infection or cancer can include assessing 102 the dosage of a drug based in the gained patient input data or sensor input data.

[0044] Overall, either by conducting the computer implemented method alone or as part of a method 100 for treating a patient with an autoimmune disease, cancer or an infection disease the patient is treated or such a disease is prevented 41.

[0045] FIG. 2 shows the schematic overview of a device according to the present invention. The device 20 comprises an assessment unit 21, a storage medium 22 and a processor 23. The processor 23 allows the assessment unit 21 to function.

[0046] The device 20 further comprises an interface 24 with a patient and can further comprise an interface 33 with the doctor. By means of the interface 24 to the patient pages 25 can be presented. Based on these pages 25 patient input data 26 can be gained. In addition, the device 20 can comprise a sensor 23 to collect sensor input data 29. By means of the interfaces the device 20 can send suggestions 31 or alerts 30 to the patient or the doctor.

[0047] While the present disclosure has been illustrated and described with respect to a particular embodiment thereof, it should be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that various modifications to this disclosure may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
