Abstract: A home health care kit in the form of a modularized computer docking station for allowing a user to provide self-monitoring test results that are transferred to a standard desktop or laptop computer for eventual automatic communication over the Internet to the user's physician. In a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises a plurality of interconnected test modules, each configured to provide everything needed to permit a user to conduct a health-related measurement. One such measurement may be that of blood pressure and pulse rate. Another may be actual blood sugar. Still another may be hemoglobin A1C or hemoglobin and another may be cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Each module has an electronics portion and a storage portion. Each such module also has a male connector on one side and a female connector on an opposing side so that the various modules may be interconnected, one to the next in sequence. The last module in a sequence of modules may then be connected in this fashion to a USB port of the user's desktop or laptop computer using either a USB cable or by means of a wireless interface adaptor.

Abstract: A sphygmomanometer cuff assembly, air pump, pressure sensor and release valve are contained in an otherwise conventional computer mouse controller. Three alternative embodiments are illustrated and discussed herein. In one such embodiment the sphygmomanometer cuff is nominally positioned within the mouse structure and is extended outside the mouse housing during the measurement. In another embodiment, the cuff is always external of the mouse structure and is easily connected to the mouse at special ports during the measurement. In yet another embodiment, the cuff is always internal of the mouse structure and is readily accessible through an aperture in the housing surface of the mouse to permit the measurement to take place. Preferably, in each of these alternative embodiments a hinged or slidable door or panel protects the cuff or cuff ports between measurements. In all of the embodiments shown herein, the sphygmomanometer cuff is configured for receiving a human finger in circumambient pressured engagement using controlled air pressure to vary the cuff/finger engagement pressure in a precise manner.
