摘要:
A system and related method for identifying a trigger event to a patient health-related exacerbation. The system includes at least one sensor configured to collect data related to the patient health-related exacerbation, an analyzer configured to validate the collected data, a patient interface device configured to receive patient inputs to at least one question, and an identifier device configured to receive the patient inputs and collected data and identify the trigger event. The system may also include an expert system configured to receive the patient inputs and the validated collected data and identify a primary patient disease, and a reporting device configured to generate reports related to the identified primary patient disease, patient inputs, and sensed patient conditions.

A pharmaceutical monitoring system includes a communication system, a host, and an interrogator/transmitter unit. The communication system is configured to upload patient drug parameters from a pharmaceutical information source to the host, and the interrogator/transmitter unit is configured to download the patient drug parameters from the host via the communication system and provide patient prompts based on the downloaded patient drug parameters. The interrogator/transmitter unit may also be configured to receive patient inputs in response to the patient prompts and upload information to the host via the communication system that is based on the patient inputs, patient prompts, and patient drug parameters.

A patient management system includes a device, an interactive display, a repeater unit, and a host. The device assesses at least one dietary condition of a patient. The interactive display receives patient input related to the patient's dietary conditions and communicates dietary feedback to the patient. The system may also include at least one sensor configured to assess at least one dietary condition of the patient. The repeater unit collects information from the device, the interactive display and the sensors. The host communicates with the repeater through a network. The patient's own input of dietary information into the system can be useful for verifying sources of measured data and enhancing feedback given to the patient. The system is configured to perform accurately even in the absence of patient input or the input of incorrect information by the patient.

An external data processing device to interface with an ambulatory repeater and method thereof is presented. An external data processing device is interfaced in far field telemetric communication with an ambulatory repeater. The external data processing device receives sensitive information preencrypted prior to implant under a cryptographic key uniquely assigned to an implantable medical device over a secure connection from the ambulatory repeater. Physiological measures retrieved from the implantable medical device by the ambulatory repeater are received by the external data processing device over a non-secure connection.
摘要:
An ambulatory repeater for use in automated patient care is presented. A local memory store includes a cryptographic key, sensitive information, and physiological measures. The cryptographic key is uniquely assigned to the implantable medical device prior to implant of the implantable medical device into a patient. The sensitive information is preencrypted under the cryptographic key and physiological measures are measured by the implantable medical device. An authentication module is in receipt of the cryptographic key. A permissions module confirms authorization of an external data processing device against the cryptographic key. A decryption module decrypts the sensitive information with the cryptographic key into decrypted information. A processor is operatively coupled to the local memory store. A communications module exchanges the decrypted information and the physiological measures with the external data processing device over a wireless interface contingent upon the authorization confirmation. An internal power supply supplies power to the foregoing components.

An ambulatory repeater for use in automated patient care and method thereof is presented. At least one sensor is communicatively interfaced to measure and collect patient health information on an ad hoc basis. A cryptographic key is uniquely assigned to an implantable medical device. Authorization to access patient health information stored on the implantable medical device is authenticated using an ambulatory repeater. The ambulatory repeater is interfaced to the at least one sensor and implantable medical device through wireless telemetry and interfaced to an external data processing device through wireless communications. The patient health information is exchanged with the at least one sensor, implantable medical device and external data processing device via the ambulatory repeater.

摘要:
A system and method for managing alert notifications in an automated patient management system is presented. One or more settings specifying patient data collection periodicity are defined. One or more patient data sources operating on a remotely managed patient and selected from at least one of a physiological sensor and a therapy delivery device are also defined. One or more triggers associated with a condition occurring in relation to at least one such patient data evaluateable subsequent to collection are defined. Finally, a notification scheme executable upon detection of at least one such trigger is determined to provide an external indicator of the condition occurrence.
