HEALTH CONDITION DETECTION, STORAGE, AND PRESENTATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of representing a health condition of an individual, the method comprising:
- detecting a measurement of the health condition of the individual with a detection component;
selecting a health condition descriptor and a health condition rating that together describe the measurement from a health information hierarchical classification scheme having a set of health conditions, respective health conditions having a set of health condition descriptors and a set of health condition ratings;
storing the selected health condition descriptor and the selected health condition rating; and
displaying at least one icon of predominantly pictorial form that represents the selected health condition descriptor and the selected health condition rating.

Abstract
Health-related devices often record and represent health-related information describing a patient in many manners, and the disparities and variance among such representations may interfere with the accuracy of a recorded electronic medical record and with communication among healthcare providers. These aspects of health information representation and communication may be facilitated according to several techniques, such as by storing health information according to a standardized health information hierarchical classification scheme, and by presenting such information to healthcare providers and the user by displaying one or more icons of predominantly pictorial form that describe the health information in a language- and literacy-independent manner. Variations of these techniques relate to the types of devices so presented, the storage of the detected health data with the representation, and the annotation of the data by the individual or healthcare providers that becomes part of the electronic medical record.
