Emergency medical diagnosis and communications device
First Claim
1. A portable personal medical diagnosis device comprising:
- a support member;
a processor and memory disposed on said support member;
a test probe electrically coupled to said processor, said test probe measuring at least one human parameter;
a device operatively associated with said processor for entering at least one symptom into said processor;
a reasoning program contained in said memory and running on said processor, the program using said human parameter from said probe and said symptom to produce a medical diagnosis;
communications circuitry contained disposed on said support member;
said processor cooperating with said communication circuitry to transmit signals to medical services.

Abstract
A portable emergency medical device capable of communicating with a remote location preferably as a cellular telephone that can measure one or more human vital parameters such as pulse rate, body temperature, skin moisture, blood pressure, ECG or blood chemistry and can receive symptoms from a user either by voice recognition or by keypad and can provide an expert medical diagnosis. The device can store a complete medical history for one or more users and can use an expert system to make the diagnosis. The device can make an emergency medical call either on command or automatically requesting help and optionally supplying medical information and/or GPS location information.
