MONITORING ELECTRONIC DEVICE USAGE IN A MANAGED HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a portable device to be operated by a patient at a location remote from a caregiver, the portable device including a processing device configured to;
collect first information from a remote electronic device over a local area network, the first information including a first user input received via a user interface of the remote electronic device to control the output of multimedia by the remote electronic device at a first time;
collect second information from the remote electronic device over the local area network, the second information including a second user input received over the user interface of the remote electronic device to control the output of multimedia by the remote electronic device at a second time later than the first time;
identify a trend based on the collected first and second information;
collect third information from the remote electronic device over the local area network, the third information including a third user input received over the user interface of the remote electronic device to control the output of multimedia by the remote electronic device at a third time later than the second time;
analyze the third information using the identified trend to form a result; and
transmit a caregiver notification over a wide area network based on the result.

Abstract
In one example, a portable device collects over a first network first and second information from a remote electronic device, each of the first and second information indicating a user input received via a user interface of the remote electronic device at a different time. The portable device identifies a trend based on the collected first and second information. After identifying the trend, the portable device collects over the first network third information from the remote electronic device, the third information indicating a user input received via the user interface of the remote electronic device at a later time. The portable device analyzes the third information using the identified trend and transmits a caregiver notification over a second different network according to the analysis.
