Bio-information sensor monitoring system and method
First Claim
1. A bio-information network for use with a bio-information modem and a continuous remote bio-information unit attached to a human subject, the bio-information network comprising:
- a communication server, wherein said communication server receives raw data over a communication link from the bio-information modem, wherein said raw data is gathered by the continuous remote bio-information unit attached to the subject and transmitted to the bio-information modem;
a situation analyzer connectable to said communication server, wherein said situation analyzer parses said raw data through a predetermined set of rules into a plurality of messages;
a workflow instructions connectable to said situation analyzer, wherein said situation analyzer queries said workflow instructions for an action to be applied to each of said plurality of messages;
a treatment provider/subject database connectable to said situation analyzer for storing said raw data, for storing information on the human subject, treatment provider, and a monitoring personnel monitoring the human subject, and for storing a method of notification predetermined by said monitoring personnel; and
a notification server connectable to said situation analyzer, wherein when said situation analyzer determines that said action to be applied to a one of said plurality of messages requires an immediate notification of said monitoring personnel, said situation analyzer will communicate said one of said plurality of messages to said notification server, and further wherein said notification server queries said treatment provider/subject database to determine a predetermined notification method, and executes said predetermined notification method to communicate a one of said plurality of messages to said monitoring personnel.

Abstract
A bio-information monitoring system passively monitors a patient with a remote portable bio-information unit that takes various bio-information measurements at selected time intervals as well as at random times without patient intervention. The measurements are converted to digital signals which are transmitted from the bio-information unit to a modem when the bio-information unit is in proximity to the modem. The signals are stored in the modem and uploaded to a central monitoring network. Automatic alerts may be sent from the central monitoring network to a treatment provider. The treatment provider may also access the information through secured dedicated websites via the Internet.

11. A method for using a bio-information network to process raw data received via a bio-information modem from a continuous remote bio-information unit attached to a human subject, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving in a communication server in the bio-information network the raw data over a communication link from the bio-information modem, wherein the raw data is gathered by the continuous remote bio-information unit attached to the subject and is transmitted to the bio-information modem;
(b) parsing with a situation analyzer said raw data through a predetermined set of rules into a plurality of messages;
(c) determining with a workflow instructions an action to be applied to each of said plurality of messages;
(d) storing in a treatment provider/subject database said raw data, an information on the human subject, an information on a treatment provider associated with the human subject, a predetermined notification method for notifying a monitoring personnel of said treatment provider associated with the human subject; and
(e) when said action to be applied to a one of said messages requires an immediate notification of said monitoring personnel, executing with a notification server said predetermined notification method to communicate a one of said plurality of messages to said monitoring personnel. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
