Heart failure monitor quicklook summary for patient management systems
First Claim
1. An interactive system including an implantable hemodynamic monitor (IHM) in cooperation with a network to transfer data from the IHM and post on the network for physicians, patients and other healthcare providers, the interactive system comprising:
- an IHM capable of recording physiologic and cardiac data in a patient;
an interface for wireless communication to downlink to the IHM and retrieve the data; and
means for posting the data at a remote location;
said IHM being implanted to continuously monitor hemodynamic conditions of the patient to provide data to physicians via said interface and said means for posting at said remote location.

Abstract
Continuous remote monitoring of patients based on data obtained from an implantable hemodynamic monitor provides an interactive patient management system. Using network systems, patients are remotely monitored to continuously diagnose and treat heart-failure conditions. A screen displayable summary provides continuous feedback and information to physicians, patients and authorized third parties. The quick look summary includes various sites and presentation tailored to match the patients'"'"' and physicians'"'"' needs. The quick look summary further includes intelligent features that understand and retain the user'"'"'s interests, preferences and use patterns. Patients, physicians and other caregivers are seamlessly connected to monitor and serve the chronic needs of heart-failure patients in a reliable and economic manner.
