Methods and means for clinical investigations
First Claim
1. A method for testing at least one effect of a pharmaceutical substance in a subject, the method comprising:
- administering a pharmaceutical substance to the subject,measuring with at least one sensor contained within a mobile sensor system, at the subject or in close proximity to the subject, at least one parameter value indicative of a body function of the subject,transmitting at least one sensor system signal associated with the at least one parameter value to a receiver contained within a mobile base unit, the receiver being provided with a means for wireless transmission, andwirelessly transmitting a mobile base unit signal associated with the at least one sensor system signal from the receiver to a back-end system, wherein at least the back-end system correlates the at least one parameter value with and/or displays a representation of the at least one effect of the pharmaceutical substance.

18. A method for testing at least one effect of a pharmaceutical substance in a subject to whom the pharmaceutical substance has been administered, wherein the improvement comprises:
-
utilizing a mobile monitoring system, comprising; at least one mobile sensor system arranged for detecting a parameter value and transmitting a sensor signal associated with the parameter value; and a mobile base unit arranged for receiving the sensor signal from the at least one mobile sensor system and for wirelessly transmitting a mobile base unit signal associated with the received sensor signal; wherein the at least one mobile sensor system and the mobile base unit are arranged to be carried by a movable object or movable organism and wherein the mobile monitoring system further comprises a back-end system arranged for receiving the mobile base unit signal, thus allowing a wireless communications link between the mobile base unit and the back-end system, and making data associated with the mobile base unit signal available to a user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A monitoring system for testing an effect of a pharmaceutical substance in a subject, the monitoring system comprising:
-
a mobile body area network and a remote user network, wherein the mobile body area network comprises a sensor system and a mobile base unit and the remote user network comprises a back-end system, wherein the sensor system is suitable for determining a parameter value of a subject, the parameter value associated with the effect of the pharmaceutical substance, and for transmitting a sensor signal to the mobile base unit, the sensor signal associated with the parameter value, and the mobile base unit is suitable for receiving the sensor signal and for wirelessly transmitting a mobile base unit signal associated with the sensor signal to the back-end system, wherein the back-end system comprises a service controller, an on-line service center and an interface to a digital vault, the service controller arranged for automatically preparing an exact and secured copy of the at least one mobile base unit signal associated with the received sensor signal and transmitting the exact and secured copy to the digital vault, and the on-line service center arranged for correlating the at least one sensor signal with at least one effect of the pharmaceutical substance.
