摘要：A clinical questionnaire system and method presents medical questions to asubject and determines additional questions to present based on the subject's response

to previous questions. Positive responses to primary questions trigger presentation ofsecondary and lower-level questions requesting more specific information from thesubject. Deeper-level questions follow a medical pathway correlated with a knownmedical condition and can prompt presentation of clinical warnings. Because the

questionnaire is patient-centered, it is free from the medical bias inherent in a physician'sadministration of a questionnaire and orientation as to what constitutes true disease. Byonly presenting relevant questions, the questionnaire decreases the time burden on thesubject. Longitudinal clinical data collected can be used for patient-oriented data analysisor, in combination with bioanalytical data, for biological marker discovery.
