Abstract
A patient monitoring system implemented by a service provider for users via recording a patient'"'"'s analytes measurements by non-invasively interrogating a skin patch placed upon the patient'"'"'s skin surface. The system includes an input module to provide a device to measure analytes from a patient, such as a measurement of the blood glucose level. The measurement is shared among a plurality of output devices such as computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, and pagers that are stationed or held by various users, such as doctors, patients, researchers, pharmacies, labs, and health insurers. In addition, behavioral attributes are recorded and correlated with the analytes measurements to generate a profile. The profile is selectively sent to output devices based on the user profile corresponding to the output device. Also, access to the profile is monitored by a security module that encrypts the profile to prevent access by un-authorized users.
