Patent Images
1. A health booth configured to allow a patient to conduct self-measurement of health data of the patient, the health booth comprising:
- a shell;
a chair arranged inside the shell and configured to support the patient in a seated position;
a first measurement device, arranged inside the shell, configured for the patient to measure by him/herself the health data;
a second measurement device, arranged on the inside or outside of the shell, configured to measure, at the time of measurement of the health data, environmental condition data that affects the measured health data and interpretation of the measured-health data;
a data storage that stores the health data and the environmental condition data together in a computer file; and
a transmission system configured to send the computer file to a remote center for evaluation, wherein the second measurement device comprises a patient position sensor configured to measure a portion of the environmental condition data, the patient position sensor further configured to detect a standing position of the patient associated with measurement of health data that requires the patient to be standing during measurement of the health data.

20. A method of enabling self-measurement of health data by a patient in a health booth, the health booth comprising a shell, a chair arranged in the shell configured to support the patient in a seated position, a first measurement device arranged inside the shell, a second measurement device arranged on the inside or outside of the shell, a data storage, and a transmission system, the method comprising:
-
measuring, by the first measurement device, health data of the patient, said measuring being performed at the direction and control of the patient, without guidance from a third party at the time of measurement; at the time of said measuring of the health data, measuring, by the second measurement device, environmental condition data that affects the measured health data and interpretation of the measured health data; storing, by the data storage, the health data and the environmental condition data together in a computer file; and transmitting, by the transmission system, the computer file to a remote center for evaluation.

21. A health booth configured to allow a patient to conduct self-measurement of health data of the patient, the health booth comprising:
-
a shell; a chair arranged inside the shell and configured to support the patient in a seated position; a first measurement device, arranged inside the shell, configured for the patient to measure the health data without guidance from a third party at the time of measurement; a second measurement device, arranged on the inside or outside of the shell, configured to measure, at the time of measurement of the health data, environmental condition data that affects the measured health data and interpretation of the measured health data; a data storage that stores the health data and the environmental condition data together in a computer file; and a transmission system configured to send the computer file to a remote center for evaluation, wherein the second measurement device comprises a patient position sensor configured to measure a portion of the environmental condition data, the patient position sensor further configured, when the health data being measured requires the patient to be seated in the chair, to detect a seated position of the patient and determine whether the detected seated position is appropriate for measurement of the health data.
