Implantable Biosensor Assembly and Health Monitoring system and Method including same
First Claim
1. A biosensor assembly implantable in a subject for monitoring a medical condition of the subject, comprising:
- at least one biosensor for measuring a medical parameter related to the medical condition;
a measured-data storage device for storing a measured data corresponding to the measured parameter;
a reference-data storage device for storing a reference data corresponding to a normal medical condition of the subject;
a transmitter including an antenna for transmitting a signal containing data externally of the subject;
a battery for powering said transmitter;
a processor for comparing the measured data with the reference data to identify an abnormal medical condition; and
a housing containing the at least one biosensor, the reference-data and measured-data storage devices, the transmitter, the battery, and the processor.

Abstract
A biosensor assembly implantable in a subject'"'"'s body for monitoring a medical condition of the subject includes a housing, one or more biosensors, a reference-data storage device for storing reference data corresponding to a normal condition of the subject, a transmitter, a battery, and a processor designed: (a) to compare the measured data, as it is sensed by the biosensors, with the reference data stored in said reference-data storage device; (b) to determine whether the measured data indicates a normal medical condition or an abnormal medical condition in the subject: and (c) upon determining that the measured data indicates an abnormal condition, to actuate the transmitter to transmit an alarm signal to a central station, to the subject, and/or to a caregiver
