Interactive medical diagnostic device
First Claim
1. An interactive medical diagnostic device comprising:
- dosage memory means for storing dosage data on a dosage for a patient including timing of administration of said dosage;
measurement memory means for storing measurement data on measurements of physiological values obtained from said patient;
interactive means for carrying out an interactive medical examination by outputting questions and receiving replies to said questions; and
judging means for judging propriety of said dosage based on said dosage data stored in said dosage memory means and said measurement data stored in said measurement memory means as well as results of said interactive medical examination.

Abstract
An interactive medical diagnostic device includes control, display, input and memory devices. Dosage data related to administration of medicaments given to a patient and physiological values obtained by measurement from the patient are stored, and an interactive medical examination is carried out by outputting questions to and receiving answers from the patient. These data are compared and propriety of the current treatment of the patient is determined and outputted. Either data on prescribed dosage or those on actually administered dosage may be used by the control device. During the interactive medical examination, the patient may be allowed to review the earlier posed questions and supplied responses. The answers may be given not only in terms of “yes” and “no” but also as “neither.” Expected results of prescribed or actually administered dosage may be compared with the current condition obtained by measurement and/or the interactive examination and if their difference suggests that the situation is grave, a warning may be outputted to a physician in charge.
