Abstract

The present invention will discuss how through the usage of the cellular handset or other host system short range communication, various portable devices and in particular medial monitoring devices can utilize the resources available inside the cellular handset or in other host system, and how communication can be established with a central service office. This will enable much smaller and cost effective portable devices. And the provision of quality service based on continuous monitoring of health conditions.

Claims

1. A system comprising of a host system and portable medical measurement device connected to the host system through wireless short range communication and connected through a long range communication to a service center.

2. A system according to claim 1 where the host system is a cellular handset.

3. A system according to claim 1 where the information will be sent to the central office periodically.

4. A system as in claim 1 where the data will be sent to the central office upon request of the central office.

5. A system according to claim 1 where the portable medical monitoring device will be activated by the wireless short range communication initiation by the host system.

6. A system according to claim 1 where the host system will be activated by the wireless short range communication initiated by the portable medical monitoring device.

7. A system according to claim 1 where the portable device will transmit raw samples to the host system and the host system will calculate the parameters.

8. A system according to claim 1 where the raw samples will be passed to the central service office where the parameter calculation will be done.

9. A system according to claim 1 where the screen of the host system will be used for display of results.

10. A system according to claim 1 where the host system memory will be used to store results.

11. A system according to claim 2 where the cellular handset will also comprise a positioning system and will transmit the location information together with the medical information

12. A system according to claim 1 where specific measurements can be activated through a user menu.

13. A system according to claim 1 where emergency messages will be sent to a central office upon detection of predefined conditions.

14. A system according to claim 1 where an alarm will be sound upon detection of predefined conditions.

15. A system according to claim 1 where power will be transmitted to the portable device via the short range wireless communication media.
