Abstract

A system of managing health comprises a medical terminal, a cellular phone, a satellite, and a medical server. The medical terminal measures health condition of a patient, and generates a measure signal having information concerning the measure result. The cellular phone generates a health information signal having information concerning health condition of the patient by using the measure signal. The satellite is connected to the cellular phone, thereby detecting in real time location of the cellular phone, and generates location information concerning the detection result. The medical server analyzes the health information signal to determine whether or not the health of the patient is normal, and manages health of the patient by using the location information and the analysis result. The system detects location of the patient by the satellite, and thus may send first-aid to the patient when the health of the patient is not normal.

Claims

1. A system for managing health comprising:

a medical terminal for measuring the health condition of a patient, and generating a measure signal having an information concerning the measure result;

a cellular phone for generating a health information signal having an information concerning the health condition of the patient using the measure signal;

a satellite connected to the cellular phone, thereby detecting in real time the location of the cellular phone, and generating a location information concerning the detection result; and

a medical server for analyzing the health information signal to determine whether or not the health of the patient is normal and managing the health of the patient by using the location information and the analysis result.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the medical terminal measures the electrocardiogram of the patient.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the medical server transmits health managing information corresponding to health condition of the patient to the cellular phone in accordance with the analysis result.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the cellular phone includes a displaying section for displaying the health managing information.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the medical server provides the location information and an information concerning the analysis result to a guardian, a hospital management center, or a 119 rescue party when the medical server determines that the health of the patient is not normal.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the cellular phone is connected to the medical server by wireless network, and is connected to the medical terminal by local area network.

7. A system for managing health comprising:

a medical terminal for measuring the health condition of a patient, and generating a health information signal having an information concerning the measure result;

a satellite connected to the medical terminal by wireless, thereby detecting in real time the location of the medical terminal and generating location information having information concerning the detection result; and

a medical server for analyzing the health information signal to determine whether or not the health of the patient is normal, and managing the health of the patient by using the analysis result and the location information.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the medical server transmits health managing information corresponding to the analysis result to the medical terminal.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the medical terminal includes:

an information generating section for measuring health condition of the patient to generate the health information signal;

a displaying section for displaying the health managing information thereon;

a medical terminal database for storing the information concerning the measure result and the health managing information; and

a satellite section connected to the satellite by wireless, thereby providing the location information to the medical server.

10. A method of managing health comprising:

measuring the health condition of a patient to generate a measure signal having information concerning the measure result;

generating a health information signal having an information concerning health condition of the patient by using the measure result;

analyzing the health information signal to determine whether or not the health of the patient is normal;

detecting in real time location of the patient by using a satellite, and generating location information having an information concerning the detection result; and

managing health of the patient in accordance with the analysis result and the location information.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the health of the patient is managed by:

providing health managing information to the patient in accordance with the analysis result; and

providing the location information and information concerning the analysis result to a guardian, a hospital management center or a 119 rescue party in case it is determines that the health of the patient is not normal, thereby providing emergency services to the patient.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein an electrocardiogram of the patient is measured.
