Physiological monitoring system for a computational device of a human subject
First Claim
1. A system for non-invasive monitoring of a human subject, comprising:
- (a) a peripheral device for being in physical contact with the human subject;
(b) a sensor for being contained within said peripheral device and for contacting the human subject, said sensor collecting data about a physiological parameter of the human subject; and
(c) a host computational device for controlling said peripheral device and for receiving said data from said sensor for monitoring the human subject.

Abstract
A system for monitoring at least one physiological parameter of a human subject. The system of the present invention features a device with which the human subject regularly interacts, and which is connected to the computational device of the human subject for automatic collection of at least one physiological parameter which is also of medical interest. The device features at least one physiological sensor for collecting the measurement of the physiological parameter. The computational device of the human subject then preferably operates a software program to analyze the data which is collected, in order for the human subject to receive an alert when necessary. Alternatively or additionally, the collected data is sent to a remote computational device which is in communication with the computational device of the human subject for analysis. Optionally, the present invention enables the human subject to receive an alert if a deterioration in the physiological condition of the human subject is detected, thereby enabling the human subject to start preventive medical treatment with trained medical personnel as soon as possible. Thus, the awareness of the human subject about any incipient medical problem is immediately improved, which may result in an increased probability of being able to successfully treat and/or otherwise ameliorate those problems.
