Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring an epileptic patient located outside of a medical establishment, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring at least one measured value from a patient relating to that patient'"'"'s epilepsy;
communicating said measured value to a central data bank, remote from said patient, and storing said measured value at said central data bank;
accessing said measured value from said central data bank and analyzing said measured value to obtain an analysis result; and
triggering an alarm signal of a first type if said analysis result is classified as critical for a state of health of said patient, and triggering an alarm signal of a second type if said measured value fails to arrive at said central data bank.

Abstract
In a method and a medical system for monitoring a patient suffering from epilepsy located outside a medical establishment, at least one measured value of the patient relating to the epilepsy is acquired and is supplied to and analyzed with an analysis device and is stored in a central data bank. An alarm generator triggers an alarm signal of a first type if the analyzed measured value is classified as critical for the state of health of the patient or triggers an alarm signal of a second type if the measured value of the patient fails to arrive.

14. A medical system for monitoring an epileptic patient located outside of a medical establishment, comprising:
-
a data acquisition arrangement for acquiring at least one measured value from a patient relating to that patient'"'"'s epilepsy;
a communication path;
a central data bank connected to said communication path, remote from said patient, for storing said measured value;
a computer for accessing said measured value from said central data bank and analyzing said measured value to obtain an analysis result; and
said computer triggering an alarm signal of a first type if said analysis result is classified as critical for a state of health of said patient, and triggering an alarm signal of a second type if said measured value fails to arrive at said central data bank.
