SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING ENHANCED WEIGHT ALERT NOTIFICATION DURING AUTOMATED PATIENT MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A system for performing actions in response to enhanced weight monitoring during automated patient management, comprising:
- a baseline weight observation module configured to obtain a plurality of weight measurements remotely measured in an automated patient environment for a patient during an observation period;
an analysis module configured to determine a raw baseline weight for the patient based on the weight measurements and adjusting the raw baseline weight through processing of irregularities in the weight measurements into a baseline weight;
a weight observation module configured to obtain weight remotely measured in the automated patient environment for the patient on a substantially regular basis;
a monitor module configured to identify changes in the weight by periodic comparison to the baseline weight; and
an action module configured to take action in response to the periodic comparison upon at least one of the changes exceeding a prescribed extent of change over the baseline weight.

Abstract
A system and method for providing enhanced weight alert notification during automated patient management is presented. A plurality of weight measurements in an automated patient environment from a weight monitoring device for a patient during an observation period is remotely obtained. A raw baseline weight for the patient is determined based on a function of the weight measurements. Irregularities in the weight measurements are identified. The raw baseline weight is processed into a baseline weight by application of a correction coefficient to the irregularities. Weight remotely measured in the automated patient environment for the patient on a substantially regular basis is obtained. Changes in the weight are identified by periodic comparison to the baseline weight. An alert notification is generated in response to the change in weight.
