A system and method for allowing a patient to access an automated process for managing a specified health problem called a disease. The system performs disease management in a fully automated manner, using periodic interactive dialogs with the patient to obtain health state measurements from the patient, to evaluate and assess the progress of the patient's disease, to review and adjust therapy to optimal levels, and to give the patient medical advice for administering treatment and handling symptom flare-ups and acute episodes of the disease. The medical records are updated, the progression of the disease is stored and tracked, and the patient's preferences for treatment are stored and then used to offer medical advice based on the current state of the disease. A prestored general disease trend curve is compared against a patient specific disease trend curve, and the system makes an automated response such as adjusting therapy.

The system of claim 8, wherein the current health assessment module comprises a critical curve assessment function, wherein the critical curve assessment function is configured to analyze health measurements of the patient plotted over time to identify and predict changes in the current health state of the patient. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the symptom filter module comprises a first filter, wherein the first filter determines whether the patient has reported experiencing any significant symptoms. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the symptom filter module comprises a second filter, wherein the second filter determines whether the symptom is related to the disease being managed for the patient. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the symptom filter module comprises a third filter, wherein the third filter assesses whether the severity level of the symptom reaches the severity threshold. 13. A method of assessing a patient's health in a disease management system, the method comprising: receiving, via direct interactive dialogue between the patient and a computing device, patient symptom input of at least one of objective measurements, subjective input or side effects, the patient input including whether the patient presently has a symptom;assessing a reliability of the subjective input and side effects based on a subjective objective correlation factor (SOCF);determining, by the computing device, that the symptom input of the patient is a side effect of a current therapy of the patient;determining, by the computing device, if the computing device should communicate with a medical health professional based on a severity level of the symptom, the severity level of the symptom being determined based on stored reference data indicative of the severity level of the symptom and the reliability of the patient subjective input;communicating, via the computing device, with the medical health professional;determining, by the computing device, if the patient should communicate with a medical health professional based on a severity level of the symptom, the severity level of the symptom being determined based on stored reference data indicative of the severity level of the symptom and based on the patient symptom input factored by the SOCF;determining, by the computing device, a prediction of a current health state of the patient;communicating, via the computing device, with the patient;obtaining, by the computing device, an initial or current health assessment based at least on whether it was determined that the patient should communicate with a medical health professional; andstoring, by the computing device, the initial or current health assessment in a data storage, wherein the initial or current health assessment comprises obtaining objective measurements, subjective measurements or side effects, the subjective measurements and the side effects factored by the SOCF. 14.
