Multiple patient monitoring system for proactive health management
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring diabetic patients by a Health Care Professional, comprising a processor-based device including a processor and one or more processor-readable media having digital code embedded therein for programming the processor to perform a method of multi-patient data management, comprising:
- (a) with a plurality of recording devices of a plurality of patients diagnosed with a diabetic condition, recording sets of chronologically-tracked values of diabetes care parameters including measurements of glucose levels of the patients;
(b) transmitting each of the stored sets of diabetes care parameter values from the recording devices to a master patient database;
(c) collecting and storing at the master patient database the sets of chronologically-tracked diabetes care parameter values including the measurements of glucose levels;
(d) processing the stored sets of diabetes care parameter values; and
(e) outputting results of the processing to enable a Health Care Professional to assess diabetic conditions of the patients based on the collected sets of diabetes care parameter values.

Abstract
A system and method for monitoring a group of patients having a chronic disease or ongoing health condition. The method includes the step of collecting from each patient a corresponding set of measurements of a control parameter of the health condition. Each set of measurements has a collection date. A control value is calculated for each patient from the corresponding set of measurements. The method further includes the steps of generating and displaying a group overview chart having one data point for each patient. Each data point indicates the control value calculated for the corresponding patient and a time period which has elapsed since the collection date of the patient'"'"'s corresponding set of measurements. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes the additional steps of selecting from the group overview chart at least one of the patients represented thereon and transmitting supervisory instructions to the at least one selected patient.
