Abstract

This invention relates to a remote health care system and a method thereof for allowing medical experts specializing in various medical fields to upload various developed program files of symptom diagnosis algorithms to a database of a care server in the remote health care system for adding, revising or updating the program files stored therein, so that the care server can provide a variety of new and useful program files to a user and allow the user to select the program files more appropriate to his/her individual disease and to upload his/her physiological parameter data to the care server. Then, the care server can execute corresponding calculating and analyzing procedures to the uploaded physiological parameter data by using the symptom diagnosis algorithm in the selected program file, and transmit calculation and analysis results to the user or health care workers for precisely and objectively understand the user'"'"'s individual physiological condition.

Claims

1. A remote health care method for enabling a user to select a symptom diagnosis algorithm appropriate to his/her individual disease, which is applied to a remote health care system comprising a care server, at least one first user end and at least one second user end, wherein the care server is provided with a database which stores a plurality of program files and plural sets of file information, each said first user end and second user end link to the care server via a network, respectively, each said first user end uploads at least one program file to be stored in the database, and each said program file includes program codes of a symptom diagnosis algorithm, the method controlling the care server to execute steps comprising:

receiving a selection command of selecting each said program file from the database by each said second user end;

receiving at least one set of physiological parameter data uploaded by each said second user end;

executing a calculation and analysis procedure to each said set of physiological parameter data according to the algorithm in each said selected program file through a calculation and analysis unit; and

transmitting a calculation and analysis result obtained by said calculation and analysis unit to the corresponding second user end.

2. The remote health care method according to claim 1, wherein the method further controls the care server to execute steps of:

receiving each said program file uploaded by each said first user end; and

storing each said program file in the database.

3. The remote health care method according to claim 1, wherein the method further allows each said second user end to execute a step of:

reading the program files in the database, and listing and showing file information of each said program file in series on a selectable field in an operational window of a display screen of each said second user end, so that the user is allowed to select the file information.

4. The remote health care method according to claim 2, wherein the method further allows each said second user end to execute a step of:

reading the program files in the database, and listing and showing file information of each said program file in series on a selectable field in an operational window of a display screen of each said second user end, so that the user is allowed to select the file information.

5. The remote health care method according to claim 3, wherein the operation window further comprises a selected field, and the method further allows each said second user end to execute a step of:

listing and showing the file information of each said selected program file on the selected field in series after the user selects each said program file for the user'"'"'s confirmation.

6. The remote health care method according to claim 4, wherein the operation window further comprises a selected field, and the method further allows each said second user end to execute a step of:

listing and showing the file information of each said selected program file on the selected field in series after the user selects each said program file for the user'"'"'s confirmation.

7. The remote health care method according to claim 5, wherein after receiving each said program file uploaded by each said first user end, the method further controls the care server to execute a step of:

executing an authentication procedure to each said program file by an authentication unit, and deleting some of the program files which fail to pass the authentication procedure.

8. The remote health care method according to claim 6, wherein after receiving each said program file uploaded by each said first user end, the method further controls the care server to execute a step of:

executing an authentication procedure to each said program file by an authentication unit, and deleting some of the program files which fail to pass the authentication procedure.

9. A remote health care system for enabling a user to select a symptom diagnosis algorithm appropriate to his/her individual disease, comprising:

a care server provided with a database which stores a plurality of program files and a plurality of file information;

at least one first user end linking to the care server via a network, wherein each said first user end uploads at least one program file to the database, while each said program file includes program codes of a symptom diagnosis algorithm; and

at least one second user end linking to the care server via a network, wherein each said second user end selects each said program file from the database through the care server and uploads at least one set of physiological parameter data to the care server, so that a calculation and analysis unit of the care server executes a calculation and analysis procedure to each said set of uploaded physiological parameter data according to the algorithms in each said selected program file, and transmit a calculation and analysis result to the corresponding second user end.

10. The remote health care system according to claim 9, wherein each said second user end is provided with a physiological parameter detection device for detecting and capturing the physiological parameter data.

11. The remote health care system according to claim 10, wherein each said second user end is provided with a display screen for showing file information of the program files read by the second user end from the database, and listing and showing file information of the program file in series on a selectable field in an operational window of the display screen for the user to select the file information, or showing a calculation and analysis result transmitted from the care server.

12. The remote health care system according to claim 11, wherein the operation window further comprises a selected field for showing the file information of each said selected program file, and the file information is listed and shown on the selected field in series for the user'"'"'s confirmation.

13. The remote health care system according to claim 12, wherein the care server further comprises an authentication unit to execute an authentication procedure to each said program file when each said first user end uploads each said program file to the database, and delete some of the program files which fail to pass the authentication procedure.

14. The remote health care system according to claim 12, wherein the care server further comprises a statistic unit to calculate and analyze a number of each said program file used by each said second user end.

15. The remote health care system according to claim 12, wherein the care server further comprises a billing unit for executing a billing procedure when each said second user end uses each said program file or when each said second user end links to the care server.

16. The remote health care system according to claim 12, wherein the database further comprises at least one preset storage space for storing the calculation and analysis result of each said second user end, respectively.
