Healthcare networks with biosensors
First Claim
1. A healthcare network for sharing information concerning the health of a user with at least one outside source, the network comprising:
- a biosensor associated with the user that generates a biosensor signal containing information regarding a health condition of the user;
a personal data control means including receiving means for receiving the biosensor signal, input means for receiving a privacy input from the user, and output means for generating a response signal based on the biosensor signal and privacy input; and
a data allocation and processing module including means for receiving the response signal, and means for generating and directing an output signal to the at least one outside source, wherein the module is responsive to the response signal, and wherein the availability of the information to the at least one outside source is responsive to the privacy input.

Abstract
A healthcare network is provided for sharing information concerning the health of a user with at least one outside source, the network including a biosensor associated with the user that generates a biosensor signal containing the information; and a personal data control means including receiving means for receiving the biosensor signal, input means for receiving a privacy input from the user, and output means for generating a response signal based on the biosensor signal and privacy input. The network also includes a data allocation and processing module including means for receiving the response signal, and means for generating and directing an output signal to the at least one outside source, wherein the module is responsive to the response signal, and wherein the availability of the information to the at least one outside source is responsive to the privacy input.

23. A method for sharing information concerning the health of a user with an outside source, the method comprising:
-
providing a biosensor operatively associated with a user, wherein the biosensor generates a biosensor signal pertaining to the health of the user;
receiving a privacy input from the user through input means;
generating a response signal based on the biosensor signal and the privacy input;
receiving and processing the response signal, and generating and directing an output signal to the outside source in response to the response signal; and
wherein the availability of information contained in the biosensor signal to the outside source is controlled by the privacy input from the user. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)
