AUTOMATED HEALTHCARE INTEGRATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An automated healthcare integration system comprising:
- (a) a residential healthcare integration station positioned at a residence of a patient and including;
(1) a residential healthcare integration controller;
(2) a biometric device interfaced to said residential controller and being adapted for measuring a patient parameter of said patient;
(3) a residential user interface communicating with said residential controller; and
(4) a residential remote communication interface communicating with said residential controller to communicate measurements of said parameter;
(b) a clinician healthcare integration station positioned remotely from said residential station and including;
(1) a clinician healthcare integration server;
(2) a clinician user interface communicating with said clinician server for use by a clinician at said clinician station; and
(3) a clinician remote communication interface communicating with said clinician server and with said residential communication interface; and
(c) said residential station cooperating with said clinician station to enable communication of measurements of said patient parameter of said patient to said clinician, review of said patient parameter and a history thereof over a period of time by said clinician, and communication of medical directions from said clinician to said patient regarding said history of said patient parameter.

Abstract
An automated healthcare integration system generally includes a plurality of residential stations, a clinician station, a data library, and may include emergency response stations. Each residential station includes a residential controller with analytical logic such as artificial intelligence, biometric devices interfaced to the residential controller, a user interface, and a communication interface for communication with the data library and the clinician station. The clinician station includes a clinician server, user interfaces, and a communication interface for communicating with the data library and the residential stations. Data derived from the biometric devices is communicated to and aggregated in the data library. Clinicians can retrieve such data for analysis to determine courses of treatment of the patients. Biometric and/or environmental sensor data indicating a life threatening situation of a patient can cause an alert to be issued to the emergency response station to assist such a patient.

27. An automated healthcare integration process comprising the steps of:
-
(a) measuring a patient parameter of a patient at a residential station using a biometric device interfaced to a residential controller and storing data representing the measured parameter in said residential controller; (b) remotely communicating the measured parameter data by said residential controller to a data library over a communication network and storing said measured parameter data in said data library to develop a patient parameter history associated with said patient over a period of time; (c) remotely accessing said measured parameter data and said patient parameter history by a clinician at a clinician station by way of a clinician controller communicating with said data library over said communication network; and (d) reviewing said measured parameter data and said patient parameter history by said clinician to thereby determine a state of health of said patient. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
