Abstract

A health monitoring system for communication between at least one terminal device that moves with a person whose health is monitored and a first center device. The terminal device detects health parameters of the person, and diagnoses of the condition of health of the person in accordance with a result of the detection, and transmits the result of the diagnosis to the first center device. The first center device stores the historical diagnosis information concerning the person, receives the result of the diagnosis from the terminal device, judges whether detailed data concerning the condition of health of the person is needed in accordance with the result of the diagnosis and the historical diagnosis information, and issues a request command of the detailed data to the terminal device when it judges that the detailed data is needed.

Claims

1. A health monitoring system for communication between at least one terminal device that is moved with a person whose health is monitored and a first center device, wherein said terminal device includes:

a sensing device for detecting health parameters of the person,

a diagnosis device for diagnosing the condition of health of the person in accordance with a result of the detection of said sensing device, and

a transmitter for transmitting a result of the diagnosis of said diagnosis device to said first center device;

said first center device includes;

a storage device for storing historical diagnosis information concerning the person,

a judgment device for receiving the result of the diagnosis of said diagnosis device and for judging whether detailed data concerning the condition of health of the person is required in accordance with the received result of the diagnosis and the historical diagnosis information, and

an instruction device for issuing a request command of the detailed data to said terminal device when said judgment device judges that detailed data is required.

2. A health monitoring system of

claim 1

, wherein said terminal device transmits the result of the detection of said sensing device as the detailed data to said first center device in accordance with the request command.

3. A health monitoring system of

claim 1

, further comprising said second center device which is independent of said first center device, wherein

said first center device includes a transmitter for transmitting the result of the diagnosis of said diagnosis device and the detailed data received from said terminal device, to said second center device in accordance with an input operation, and

said second center device receives the result of the diagnosis of said diagnosis device and the detailed data supplied from said first center device and issues an instruction in accordance with the received result the diagnosis and the detailed data.

4. A health monitoring system of

claim 3

, wherein said first center device transmits an instruction to said terminal device in accordance with an input operation.

5. A health monitoring system of

claim 1

, wherein

when a plurality of terminal devices by each of which the detailed data is required exist, said judgment device judges a terminal device having a highest priority of the plurality of terminal devices in accordance with the result of the diagnosis and the historical diagnosis information, and

said instruction device issues the request command to the terminal device having the higher priority.

6. A health monitoring system of

claim 1

, wherein said sensing device detects biological information and action pattern information as the health parameters.
