METHODS FOR PERSONAL EMERGENCY INTERVENTION
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor;
a medical device interface configured to communicate with each of a plurality of medical devices via a wireless connection, wherein at least one of the plurality of medical devices uses a different communications protocol than the other of the plurality of medical devices;
a data relay interface; and
a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
automatically detect a wireless signal from one or more of the plurality of medical devices, wherein the signal is received via the medical device interface;
in response to the detected wireless signal, automatically configure the medical device interface to communicate using a frequency used by the one or more of the plurality of medical devices and a communication protocol used by the one or more of the plurality of medical devices;
receive, using the medical device interface, data from the plurality of medical devices; and
transmit a message including at least a portion of the received data, using the data relay interface, to a provided medical data server.

Abstract
There are provided methods and systems for personal emergency Intervention, comprising determining that an event regarding a patient has occurred, and thereupon enabling a tracking mode in a device controlled by the patient; monitoring one or more conditions to determine whether the tracking mode should be disabled, and until the tracking mode is disabled, the device: obtains a data pairing, the data pairing comprising a location of the patient and a time related to the location of the patient, and stores the data pairing within a memory in the device; and formatting a report for transmission to a medical data server, the report comprising at least a patient identifier for the patient and the data pairing. This method can be practiced automatically to allow a device controlled by a patient or other subject to be monitored without requiring the patient to manually enter information.
