1. A medical monitoring system for the detection of at least one disorder in a human patient, comprising:
- a plurality of independently operable modular testing subsystems, said modular testing subsystems including at least an auditory response testing subsystem, said auditory response testing subsystem configured to measure at least one response of the human patient to an auditory stimulus, said response representative of a first indicator of the at least one disorder; and
at least one non-auditory response testing subsystem, said at least one non-auditory response testing subsystem configured to measure at least one characteristic of the human patient, said at least one characteristic representative of at least one additional indicator of the at least one disorder; and
a processor system operatively coupled to each of said module testing subsystems, said processor system configured with a computer program to selectively operate each of said plurality of module testing subsystems and to generate index value representative of the at least one disorder responsive to a plurality of indicators of the at least one disorder generated by at least two of said modular testing subsystems.

Abstract
A medical screening device (100) configured to measure and monitor combinations of blood chemistry, breath gasses, and bioelectrical signals such as evoked auditory signals and EEG signals associated with human auditory testing to facilitate detection of abnormal medical conditions or disorders in human patients by providing a cumulative index representative of at least one detected medical disorder in the human patient.

16. An medical monitoring system for the detection of at least one medical disorder in a human patient, comprising:
-
a portable hand-held enclosure;
a plurality of testing subsystems disposed within said enclosure, each of said plurality of testing subsystems configured to measure at least one discrete characteristic of the human patient, each of said discrete characteristics representative of the at least one medical disorder;
at least one connection points on said enclosure for operatively coupling at least one instrument to said plurality of testing subsystems;
a power supply for operating said plurality of testing systems; and
wherein said at least one medical disorder is selected from a set of medical disorders including hemolysis, lactose malabsorption, and hyperbilirubinemia. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

24. A self-contained, portable medical monitoring system for the detection of at least one medical disorder in a human patient, comprising:
-
a plurality of detection means for acquiring a plurality of different measurements of patient characteristics representative of the at least one medical disorder; and
a processor means coupled to said plurality of detection means, said processor means configured with a plurality of independent program modules for evaluating said plurality of different measurements, each of said plurality of independent program modules associated with one of said plurality of detection means for evaluating measurements acquired by said associated detection means; and
wherein said processor means is further configured to communicate data between at least two of said independent program modules for generating an index value based on at least a portion of said plurality of different measurements, said index value representative of severity of the at least one medical disorder. - View Dependent Claims (25)
