BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method for correlating diagnostic measurements obtained by at least two different medical devices, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first diagnostic measurement by a first medical device;
obtaining a second diagnostic measurement by a second medical device;
generating a correction parameter by comparing the first and second diagnostic measurements; and
adjusting one of the first diagnostic measurement and the second diagnostic measurement using the correction parameter to correlate the second diagnostic measurement to the first diagnostic measurement.

Abstract
Systems and methods for correlating diagnostic readings obtained by at least two medical devices can include a pressure offset correction parameter that is calculated for the purpose of correlating oscillometric blood pressure readings between a “home” blood pressure monitor and an “office” blood pressure monitor. The offset correction parameter is used to adjust blood pressure readings of the “home” or “office” blood pressure monitor such that these readings can be validly compared with blood pressure readings obtained using the other blood pressure monitor. In this manner, a more complete and reliable blood pressure trend may be developed and used for managing blood pressure related medical conditions.

12. A method for correlating blood pressure values obtained by a first blood pressure device and a second blood pressure device, the method comprising:
-
calculating a first blood pressure value with the first blood pressure device; calculating a second blood pressure value with the second blood pressure device; comparing the first and second blood pressure values and generating a correction value representing a difference between the first and second blood pressure values; and modifying the second blood pressure value using the correction value to correlate the first and second blood pressure values. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-implemented method for correlating blood pressure values obtained by two blood pressure devices, the method comprising:
-
calculating a first blood pressure value from a set of oscillometric blood pressure data obtained by an office blood pressure device, the office blood pressure device being configured for use in a doctor'"'"'s office; calculating a second blood pressure value with a home blood pressure device from the set of oscillometric blood pressure data obtained by the office blood pressure device, the home blood pressure device being configured for use in a patient'"'"'s personal home; comparing the first and second blood pressure values; generating a correction value representing a difference between the first and second blood pressure values; modifying the second blood pressure value using the correction value to correlate the first and second blood pressure values; transferring at least the first blood pressure value and the second blood pressure value to a web portal from the home blood pressure device; and generating a blood pressure trend plot including at least the first blood pressure value the second blood pressure value.
