Abstract

The proactive health management is a new medical mode which is becoming an important issue for national health management. Proactive health management is very similar to reliability, the health state of an individual or a group of people is the key issue. Thus, it is significant to focus on the related researches in both theory and applications. In the chapter, a new Markov process is developed for describing the evolution process of health states via considering the health state itself and the invention events, and based on the Markov model, the formulas for several related measure indexes in health states are derived. Meanwhile, some analyses on the sensitivity of parameters appeared in the model and some numerical examples to illustrate the related measure indexes are presented. This research may shed light on further studies in proactive health management.
