1. A method to assess a function of an autonomic nervous system, comprising:
- collecting physiological signals that reveal heart rates at a first end;
sending the physiological signals to a second end through a network system; and
analyzing the physiological signals at the second end, wherein frequency-domain parameters of the physiological signals are automatically quantified to characterize a heart rate variability.

Abstract
An automated and remote controlled method for assessing the heart rate variability (HRV) is described. Signals that reveal the heart rates of a user are collected and digitized at the Client of a Client/Server system. The digitized signals are then sent to the Server through a network system, where the digitized signals are analyzed on-line with the automated ANS function analysis system to provide indices of the autonomic nervous system. The indices are sent back to the user (the Client) and/or a medical profession for further verification and assistant.

16. An automated and remote controlled system for assessing a function of an autonomic nervous system (ANS), comprising:
-
a heart rate signal acquisition system to collect heart rate signals;
a diagnosis system to analyze the heart rate signals, wherein frequency-domain parameters of the heart rate signals are quantified to provide indices of the autonomic nervous system function; and
a network system to transmit the heart rate signals to the diagnosis system from the heart rate signal acquisition system for an on-line analysis and to transmit the indices of the ANS function to the heart rate signal acquisition system from the diagnosis system. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
