20130157571 | System for wireless remote monitoring of alarm events of a medical device and corresponding patient - A wireless remote alarm system is described to allow a mobile caregiver or clinician to track the alarm status of a life-critical medical device and patient while the caregiver or clinician is located away from the patient. The system includes automatic recognition of the medical device's alarm output circuit for universal compatibility, in order to render the system practical, convenient and reliable to deploy, and protocols for signal reliability, security and power management. The system also includes alarm differentiation protocols to assist the caregiver with alarm prioritization, and remote patient management applications via wider-area network connectivity. The system is especially useful in alternate care and homecare settings, and for monitoring patients using a ventilator. | 06-20-2013 |

20090007924 | ARBITER SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMPUTERIZED MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND ADVICE - A computerized medical diagnostic system and method is described. A computer storage stores a list of candidate disease objects, where each disease object is associated with one or more questions. A computing device is in data communication with the computer storage, and executes instructions associated with an arbiter object. The arbiter object utilizes at least one of multiple evaluation strategies that determine the selection of a next best question to ask of a patient. The disease objects can be separated into a first class that is allowed to vote for the next best question which is to be asked of the patient or into a second class that is not allowed to vote for the next best question. The arbiter object can determine when a next evaluation strategy of the multiple evaluation strategies is to be started. | 01-08-2009 |
20100318381 | PANEL DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND SYSTEM - A method and system for computerized medical diagnostics is disclosed. Beginning with interacting with a patient or a healthcare professional via a diagnostic module to obtain patient health items, the system automatically obtains an initial differential diagnosis and multiple strategy differential diagnoses based on the patient health items. In one embodiment, each strategy differential diagnosis is obtained with different analysis criteria of the patient health items. At least a portion of the strategy differential diagnoses are compared and a panel differential diagnosis based on the compared differential diagnoses is determined. The initial diagnosis and the panel differential diagnosis are reconciled so as to recommend an action or provide a diagnosis to the patient or the healthcare professional. | 12-16-2010 |
20120035962 | COMPUTERIZED MEDICAL SELF-DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT ADVICE SYSTEM INCLUDING MODIFIED DATA STRUCTURE - A system for providing computerized, knowledge-based medical diagnostic and treatment advice. The medical advice is provided to the general public over a digital network via interactive dialogue. Software authoring languages, interactive voice response and speech recognition are used to enable expert and general practitioner knowledge to be encoded for access by the public. “Meta” functions for time-density analysis of a number of factors regarding the number of medical complaints per unit of time are an integral part of the system. A semantic discrepancy evaluator routine along with a mental status examination are used to detect the consciousness level of a user of the system. A dynamic data structure is used to record and save new patient data over time. A symptom severity analysis helps to respond to the changing conditions. System sensitivity factors may be changed at a global level or other levels to adjust the system advice as necessary. | 02-09-2012 |

20120029935 | DISEASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INCLUDING A NO RESPONSE METHOD - 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. | 02-02-2012 |
20120041780 | PANEL DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND SYSTEM INCLUDING ACTIVE AND PASSIVE STRATEGIES - A system and method for computerized medical self-diagnosis is disclosed. Beginning with direct interactive dialog between a patient and a computing device to obtain patient health items, the system automatically obtains a differential self-diagnosis using active and passive strategies based on an analysis of the patient health items in conjunction with known disease properties. In one embodiment, each strategy differential self-diagnosis is obtained with different analysis criteria of the patient health items. At least a portion of the strategy differential self-diagnoses are compared and a consensus self-diagnosis based on the compared differential self-diagnoses is determined and communicated to the patient. | 02-16-2012 |
