Abstract

An apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network comprises at least one system server or a personal server connected to a plurality of monitoring devices and a plurality of medical organization servers. The monitoring devices, the system server or the personal sever, and the medical organization servers are connected by wireless transmission and network. When an alarm message is sent out from the end user, the personal server will send this information to predetermined telephone or to the medical organization server automatically, the telephone can be family or relative'"'"'s mobile phone, or the telephone of a medical or rescue organization. Therefore, the end user can get an immediate treatment.

Claims

1. An apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network comprises at least one system server connected to a plurality of monitoring devices and a plurality of medical organization servers;

wherein

the system server includes at least one database, one decoder, and one compare processor, basic data of a plurality of end users is saved in the database, the decoder serves to receive and decode identification code from the monitoring devices, and then provide to the compare processor, the compare processor serves to receive information data from the monitoring devices and to determine whether the end user is health or not by comparing the information data with the corresponding basic data stored in the database;

the monitoring devices each includes at least one inner memory, one monitoring processor and one positioning processor, a basic data of a specific end user is saved in the inner memory, a group of identification code corresponding to the system server is saved in the inner memory, the monitoring processor serves to monitor blood pressure, pulse and heartbeat of the end user, the positioning processor determines the position of the end user by coordination location and then converts it into a readable location name, and these information is wirelessly and intermittently transmitted to the system server via satellite positioning within an appropriate time period;

the medical organization servers each includes at least one database and a crisis processor, the basic data of the plurality of end users is saved in the database of the medical organization servers, the crisis processor, via network, receives information sent to the system server from the monitoring devices.

2. The apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the basic data of the plurality of end users saved in the database includes at least a personal data, such as name, date of birth, ID number, registered hospital, address and phone number, and a health status information, such as a sample of normal value of blood pressure, pulse, and heartbeat.

3. The apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the basic data of a specific end user saved in the inner memory includes at least a personal data, such as name, date of birth, ID number, registered hospital, address and phone number, and a health status information, such as a sample of normal value of blood pressure, pulse, and heartbeat.

4. The apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the basic data of the plurality of end users saved in the database of the medical organization servers includes at least a personal data, such as name, date of birth, ID number, registered hospital, address and phone number, and a health status information, such as a sample of normal value of blood pressure, pulse, and heartbeat, and a case record.

5. The apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the medical organization servers are also allowed to be connected to other medical organization servers or rescue facilities through internet.

6. The apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the monitoring devices are wirelessly connected to the system server via radio wave, infrared, microwave, or satellite signal, and the medical organization serves are connected to the system server to form a network.

7. The apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the monitoring devices are worn on the wrist.

8. The apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the information is intermittently transmitted from the monitoring devices to the system server every three seconds.

9. The apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the identification code and the basic data in the inner memory are permanently saved, and other information is temporarily saved, and after the blood pressure, pulse and heartbeat of the end user monitored by the monitoring processor, and the location information detected by the positioning processor are intermittently transmitted to the system server every three seconds, the previous temporarily saved data in the system server will be covered, namely, the temporarily saved data in the system server is updated every three seconds.

10. An apparatus for monitoring end user'"'"'s health status via a network comprises at least one personal server connected to a plurality of monitoring devices, a plurality of mobile phones, other phones or phones of rescue facilities;

the personal server includes at least one database, one decoder, and one compare processor, basic data of a plurality of end users is saved in the database, the decoder serves to receive and decode identification code from the monitoring devices, and then provide to the compare processor, the compare processor serves to receive information data from the monitoring devices and to determine whether the end user is health or not by comparing the information data with the corresponding basic data stored in the database;

the monitoring devices each includes at least one inner memory, one monitoring processor and one positioning processor, a basic data of a specific end user is saved in the inner memory, a group of identification code corresponding to the personal server is saved in the inner memory, the monitoring processor serves to monitor blood pressure, pulse and heartbeat of the end user, the positioning processor determines the position of the end user by coordination location and then converts it into a readable location name, and these information is wirelessly and intermittently transmitted to the personal server via satellite positioning within an appropriate time period;

if the health status of the end user obtained by the personal server is not within normal range, the personal server will contact the mobile phones, the other phones or the phones of rescue facilities via network or network telephone, so as to rescue the end user as soon as possible.
