Abstract

A medical information and support system that allows user'"'"'s to gain access to their medical information on a mobile device terminal that interfaces to an application and server system through a wireless network. The mobile device may also interface to medical measurement systems to obtain vital and/or physiological measurements of the user. They system can trigger alarms if the physiological measurements are of concern. In addition, the mobile device can be used to provide instructions to a user to perform certain medical actions such as taking medication, as well as identifying the dosages and types of medication. The user can mobile device or through a web interface to the application and server system. In addition, health care entities may also access and/or modify the medical information through a web interface to the application and server system

Claims

1. A system for maintaining and providing medical data pertinent to a user, the system comprising:

a mobile device;

an application and storage server communicatively coupled to the mobile device and operative to maintain a personal file for the user, the personal file including the pertinent medical data; and

the mobile device being operative to access the personal file and render the data to the user.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein a copy of the personal file is maintained in memory of both the application and storage server and the mobile device;

and the application and storage server and the mobile device are operative to synchronize the copies of the personal file.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is further operative to receive additional data to be included in the personal file.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the application and storage server includes a third party interface, wherein a entity can access the personal file through the third party interface and modify the data within the personal file.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein the mobile device includes a software module that is operative to prompt the user to take certain medical actions based on the contents of the personal file.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the software module is further operative to instruct a user to take a particular dosage of medication.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the software module is further operative to receive an indicator that the user has performed the medical action.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the software module is further operative to trigger an alarm if the software module has not received the indicator within a threshold period of time.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the software module is further operative to trigger an alarm if the software module receives an indicator that the user has not performed the medical action.

10. The system of claim 2, wherein the mobile device includes a medical measurement device interface over which the mobile device can receive signals from a medical measurement device relevant to the user.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the medical measurement device can measure one or more vital signs of the user and provide the measurement to the medical measurement device interface of the mobile device.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the software module is further operative to determine whether to trigger an alarm based on the measurement and the synchronized personal file.

13. The system of claim 2 wherein the mobile device is communicatively coupled to the application and server system through a wireless telecommunications network that includes data transmission.

14. The system of claim 2, wherein the mobile device is communicatively coupled to the application and server through a digital cellular telecommunications network

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the medical measurement device is an integral part of the mobile device.

16. The system of claim 2, wherein a portion of the personal file is accessible by emergency personal.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is further operative to decide whether to invoke a medical application from the application and storage server.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the decision which medical application to invoke is based on the measurements and the personal file.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the decision which medical application to invoke is based on at lease one parameter selected from a group consisting of:

location and user'"'"'s input data and changes in the personal file.

20. The system of claim 1, wherein said mobile communication device is a cellular telephone.

21. The system of claim 1, wherein the application and storage server comprising a medical application that is adapted to determine the user health condition.

22. The system of claim 1, wherein the application and storage server comprising a medical application that is adapted to continually determine the user health condition.

23. The system of claim 1, wherein the application and storage server comprising a medical application that is adapted to continually determine the user risk level.

24. The system of claim 1, wherein the application and storage server comprises a medical application that is adapted to reducing the user risk level.

25. The system of claim 24, wherein reducing the user risk level is performed by informing medical services.

26. The system of claim 24, wherein reducing the user risk level is performed by informing user'"'"'s relatives.

27. The system of claim 24, wherein reducing the user risk level is performed by giving the user specific recommendations and instructions.

28. The system of claim 1, wherein the application and storage server comprising a medical application that is adapted to be used in sport exercising period.

29. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is at least one personal device selected from a group consisting of:

a cellular telephone, a personal data assistant (PDA), a laptop and a personal computer.

30. The system of claim 1, wherein the decision which medical application to invoke from the application and storage server is done by the user.

31. The system of claim 1, wherein the decision which medical application to invoke from the application and storage server is done by a healthcare provider.

32. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprising a medical application that is adapted to determine the user health condition.

33. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprising a medical application that is adapted to continually determine the user health condition.

34. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprising a medical application that is adapted to continually determine the user risk level.

35. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprises a medical application that is adapted to reducing the user risk level.

36. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprising a medical application that is adapted to be used in sport exercising period.
