Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring and tracking attributes of personal health. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for measuring and recording at least two independent health values so as to produce multivariable diagnostic information that can accurately identify medical conditions. The method requires measuring at least two health related values which are recorded onto some form of computer readable media and then correlated concurrently to known medical conditions. These conditions are then communicated to the user An alternative embodiment relates to a system for performing multivariable health related diagnostics using at least two health related measurement devices, a computation processor, and an output device. The devices may be external devices configured to communicate with the remainder of the system. The output device may include a display screen to communicate visually and/or a speaker to communicate verbally.

Claims

1. A method for measuring and recording at least two independent health values so as to produce multivariable diagnostic information comprising the acts of:

a. measuring at least two health related values;

b. recording the at least two health related values onto a computer readable medium;

c. correlating the at least two health related values concurrently against known medical conditions; and

d. communicating correlated medical conditions via an output device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the act of measuring the at least two health related values includes engaging at least two independent health measuring devices which are in communication with a central processing unit.

3. A system for performing multivariable health related diagnostics comprising:

a. at least two health related measurement devices;

b. a processor configured to record and concurrently correlate health related measurements with medical data related to medical conditions; and

c. an output device configured to communicate correlated medical conditions to a user.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least two health related measurement devices include a scale, height measurement device, a thermometer, a digital stethoscope, a blood pressure cuff, a pulse oximeter, a ECG/rhythm strip, a glucometer, and a first aid kit.
