Abstract

A system configured to collect biological samples using a sensor and to extract a medical parameter therefrom outputs a signal to a communication interface. The communication interface is configured to communicate with a wireless electronic communication device having a processor, a memory, and a display, for determination of a value representative of the sensed medical parameter and display on the display. The wireless electronic communication device is configured to transmit the signal to a remote computerized system that is configured to compare the signal to stored values in a database, and to provide a report comparing a value associated with the signal to the stored values.

Claims

1. A system for collecting, processing, and displaying medical data, comprising:

a sensor configured to collect biological samples, sense a medical parameter based on the collected biological sample, and provide a signal that represents the sensed medical parameter;

a communication interface coupled to the sensor and configured to receive the signal from the sensor and communicate the signal;

a wireless electronic communication device having a processor, a memory, and a display, the wireless electronic communication device is configured to wirelessly receive the signal from the communication interface, wherein the processor is configured to cause a value representative of the sensed medical parameter to be displayed on the display, and wherein the wireless electronic communication device is further configured to transmit the signal;

a database;

a remote computerized system having configured to receive the signal from the wireless electronic communication device, compare the signal to stored values in the database, and provide a report comparing a value associated with the signal to the stored values.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the report is viewable by an authorized group of persons.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the report is viewable through a portal that provides an interface to a global computer network.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the report is viewable through a portal that provides an interface to a global computer network.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the stored values comprise values of previous medical parameters and the report indicates a trend be comparing the previous medical parameters to the sensed medical parameter based on the collected biological sample.

6. A method for collecting, processing, and displaying medical data, comprising:

collecting biological samples using a sensor,

sensing a medical parameter based on the collected biological sample,

providing a signal that represents the sensed medical parameter to a communication interface coupled to the sensor;

receiving the signal at a wireless electronic communication device having a processor, a memory, and a display,

causing a value representative of the sensed medical parameter to be displayed on the display,

transmitting the signal from the wireless electronic communication device to a remote computerized system;

receiving the signal at the remote computerized system;

comparing the signal at the remote computerized system to values stored in a database, and

providing a report that compares a value associated with the signal to the stored values.
