METHOD FOR RAPID AND SECURE INTRODUCTION OF NEW DRUGS, MEDICATIONS AND THERAPIES, THROUGH CLINICAL TRIALS INTO GENERAL HEALTHCARE
First Claim
1. An Internet-based condition monitoring system for use in treatment of a patient, comprising:
- an Internet-based server and communication platform;
a memory associated with the server, said memory storing;
a) a best-treatment knowledge base managing search and access into validated treatment plans based on a number of medical cases,b) a personalization module, to enable selection and adaptation of an appropriate personal treatment plan for said patient, based on the diagnosis of the patient'"'"'s diseases and on further assessments of the treatment outcome,c) a condition monitoring module, adapted to receive and store physiological data measured, alarm signals and event information of the patient,d) a supervision module, operative to receive and store the alarm signals and event information, assess them and transmit them to doctors, caregivers and experts involved, in order to initiate their reaction and to request a report about the reaction and its results,e) a shift log for receiving reports related to the patient from such doctors, caregivers and experts,f) an evaluation module, in which problems and patterns in measurements are evaluated, comparing them with patterns in said knowledge base,g) a program for selecting appropriate corrective action to be recommended to doctors and caregivers and requesting a report from the caregivers about the reaction and the results, andh) an editor module, in which reports are entered into the database enlarging the knowledge and the number of cases to select from.

Abstract
Accordingly, the object of the invention is one special application of the ‘Health Monitoring Platform’, described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,735,551, with the method of ‘Validated Treatment Plans’, condensing procedure and documentation of the ‘clinical trials’ for a new medication and offering them to the general practitioner on-line: To be used as templates to screen his patient, to select and adapt new treatment for him, to prescribe the associated monitoring to him and to the visiting nurse, to execute a tele-monitoring using sensor devices communicating signals to measurement and event log databases, to assess these logs in consultation with experts, to evaluate deviations from expected outcome and their cause and to propose corrective action and adapted treatment to the caregiver and his patient, searched from this ‘knowledge base’.

7. Method for implementing new drugs and medications into trials and for applying approved drugs and medications in hospital or home to individual patient wherein an Internet Health Monitoring Platform (as in U.S. Pat. No. 6,735,551) serves as prescription, monitoring and communication system, connecting doctor and individual patient, comprising following steps:
-
a) Validated Treatment Plan Templates, compiled from completed documentation and protocols of clinical testing phases for said new drugs and medications, b) a Personalization Module, to enable selection and adaptation of said Validated Treatment Plan Template to a Personal Treatment Plan, based on diagnosis of individual patient'"'"'s diseases and on further assessments of expected treatment outcome, c) a Condition Monitoring Module, adapted to receive and store measured physiological data, alarm signals and event information from individual patient, d) a Supervision Module, operative to receive and store said alarm signals and event information, assess and transmit them to doctors, caregivers and experts involved, in order to initiate their reaction and to request a report about the reaction and its results, e) an Evaluation Module, in which problems and patterns in measurements are evaluated, comparing them with patterns in a knowledge database, f) a Recommendation Module, displaying successful corrective action from said knowledge base record to doctors and caregivers and requesting a report from the caregivers about the reaction and the results, and g) an Editor Module, in which said reports are entered into the database, continually enlarging knowledge and number of cases to select from. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
