Abstract
A data collection system collects and stores physiological data from an ambulatory patient at a high resolution and/or a high data rate (“more detailed data”) and sends a low-resolution and/or downsampled version of the data (“less detailed data”) to a remote server via a wireless network. The server automatically analyzes the less detailed data to detect an anomaly, such as an arrhythmia. A two-tiered analysis scheme is used, where the first tier is more sensitive and less specific than the second tier. If the more sensitive analysis detects or suspects the anomaly, the server signals the data collector to send more detailed data that corresponds to a time period associated with the anomaly. The more specific second tier analyses the more detailed data to verify the anomaly. The server may also store the received data and make it available to a user, such as via a graphical or tabular display.

28. A system for monitoring a patient, the system comprising:
-
a controller configured to receive physiologic data about the patient; a wireless transceiver provided in communication with the controller; and a remote server configured for wireless communication with the wireless transceiver, and for executing a health care provider application program; wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to transmit a subset of the received physiologic data to the remote server, wherein the remote server is configured to analyze the subset of the received physiologic data according to a first technique and send a signal to the wireless transceiver if the analysis indicates a health-related anomaly, wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to transmit a portion of the received physiologic data to the remote server, in response to the signal, wherein the remote server is configured to analyze the portion of the received physiologic data according to a second technique, and wherein the health care provider application program is configured to permit a health care provider to set control parameters used in at least one of the first technique and the second technique. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A system for monitoring a patient, the system comprising:
-
a controller configured to receive physiologic data about the patient; a wireless transceiver coupled to the controller; and a remote server configured for wireless communication with the wireless transceiver, and for executing a health care provider application program; wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to transmit a subset of the received physiologic data to the remote server, and wherein the health care provider application program is configured to permit a health care provider to set transmission parameters used to control the transmission of the subset of the received physiologic data to the remote server. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45)

46. A method for monitoring a patient, the method comprising:
-
receiving physiologic data about the patient; transmitting, from a transceiver to a remote server, a subset of the received physiologic data, wherein the remote server analyzes the subset of the received physiologic data according to a first technique and sends a signal to the transceiver if the analysis indicates a health-related anomaly; and transmitting a portion of the received physiologic data from the transceiver to the remote server, in response to the signal from the remote server, wherein the remote server analyzes the portion of the received physiologic data according to a second technique, wherein a health care provider sets control parameters used in at least one of the first technique and the second technique, via a health care provider application program. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57)
