MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTATION, EXECUTION, DATA COLLECTION, AND DATA ANALYSIS OF A STRUCTURED COLLECTION PROCEDURE WHICH RUNS ON A COLLECTION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A collection device for performing a structured collection procedure, said device comprising:
- memory;
a processor connected to the memory; and
program instructions which when executed by the processor causes the processor to;
initiate automatically a schedule of events of the structured collection procedure upon one or more entry criterions being met at some unknown time,store in the memory patient data collected in accordance to the schedule of events,end automatically the structured collection procedure upon one or more exit criterions being met at some unknown time, andmark the structure collection procedure as completed if no exception occurred during performance of an event in the schedule of events.

Abstract
Embodiments related to a system and method managing the implementation, execution, data collection, and data analysis of a structured collection procedure running on a portable, hand-held collection device are disclosed. The collection device performing the structured collection procedure has program instructions that when executed by a processor causes the processor to initiate automatically a schedule of events of the structured collection procedure upon one or more entry criterions being met at some unknown time, store in memory patient data collected in accordance to the schedule of events, end automatically the structured collection procedure upon one or more exit criterions being met at some unknown time, and mark/indicate the structured collection procedure as completed if no exception occurred during performance of an event in the schedule of events.

28. A collection device for performing a structured collection procedure, said device comprising:
-
memory storing patient data comprising collected biomarker data, a date-time stamp, a completion flag, and other data associated with each instance of the collected biomarker data, said other data comprising contextualized data which characterizes the associated collected biomarker; a processor connected to the memory; and program instructions that when executed by the processor causes the processor to; retrieve automatically from memory a structured collection procedure having parameters defining; entry criteria which establish conditions needed to be met prior to obtaining biomarker data, a schedule of events, each of said events comprising at least one or more of a performance time, guidance to perform the event, a request for one or more of information, patient actions, and a collection of at least one type of biomarker data, and exit criteria which establish the conditions needed to be met prior to exiting the structured collection procedure, and initiate automatically the schedule of events of the structured collection procedure upon the entry criteria being met at some unknown time, store in the memory the patient data collected in accordance to the schedule of events, end automatically the structured collection procedure upon the exit criteria being met at some unknown time, and indicate the structured collection procedure as completed if no exception occurs during performance of a critical event in the schedule of events to collect the biomarker data, otherwise the processor indicates non-completion of the structured collection procedure. - View Dependent Claims (29, 31)

32. A method of managing a structured collection procedure comprising:
-
providing a collection device with the structured collection procedure and a program instructions; and executing the program instruction on the collection device which cause a processor of the collection device to; initiate automatically a schedule of events of the structured collection procedure upon one or more entry criterions being met at some unknown time, store in memory patient data collected in accordance to the schedule of events, end automatically the structured collection procedure upon one or more exit criterions being met at some unknown time, and indicating completion of the structured collection procedure if no exception occur during performance of an event in the schedule of events.
