REMOTE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WITH STETHOSCOPE
First Claim
1. A patient health system for transmission of patient health data from a patient data collection system to a provider analysis system, comprising:
- a. the patient data collection system, located proximate a patient, configured to collect patient physiological data, and operatively coupled to a communications network;
b. the provider analysis system coupled to the communications network and located remote from the patient data collection system;
wherein the patient data collection system is comprised of a patient data collection device couple to a patient work station, the patient work station being configured to determine the reliability of the communications network and transmit patient physiological data upon a determination that the communications network is reliable.

6. A method of transmitting data representative of a patient'"'"'s heartbeat from a patient data collection system located proximate a patient to a health care provider analysis system comprising:
-
a. providing a sensor proximate the patient to sense the heart beat of a patient and generate the data representative of a patient'"'"'s heartbeat;
b. processing the data representative of a patient'"'"'s heartbeat to determine if it is within an acceptable range;
c. flagging portions of the data representative of a patient'"'"'s heartbeat that is outside of the acceptable range;
d. storing the data representative of a patient'"'"'s heartbeat along with any flagged portions in a memory buffer;
e. determining if a communications medium between the patient data collections system and the health care provider analysis system is sufficiently stable for data transmission;
f. transmitting the data representative of a patient'"'"'s heartbeat along with any flagged portions to the health care provider analysis system upon a determination that the communications medium is stable. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
