Abstract
To make home patient care more successful, a machine may enable context aware physiological monitoring at home. For example, in one embodiment, the machine only allows the physiological monitor measurements to be made when the patient has proven that the patient has not undergone strenuous activity in a period preceding the measurement. That activity may skew the measurement and make the measurement unreliable. Without the machine information, the clinician may be unaware of the physical activity because the patient is not present in his or her office and could misdiagnose or misprescribe based on incorrect information.
