BLOOD-CHEMISTRY IMBALANCE DETERMINATION BY MEANS OF REFLEX REACTION TIME MEASUREMENTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for a processor-controlled computing device to automatically determining an adverse physiological change in a person, comprising the steps of:
- identifying an autonomic reflex parameter for measurement,determining a baseline range for said parameter,measuring said parameter at a predefined interval and capturing the plurality of measured data,analyzing said measured data by determining if individual measurements or the trend of said measurements is at or near the edges of said baseline range.

Abstract
A system and method are provided whereby periodic measurements of autonomic reflex times of individuals are used as an early-warning indication that an undesirable physical condition, such as an undesirable blood-chemistry condition, may exist. This method correlates measurements of the reaction times of specific autonomic reflexes to more-definitive measurements for the medical condition being monitored for this early-warning assessment.

9. A system for providing an alert based on a possible medical condition, including:
-
a measurement element, for measuring an autonomic reflex at regular intervals, a reporting element for reporting results of each measurement; an analysis element for analyzing each of said measurements relative to a pre-determined baseline; and a notification system for notifying a remote device when said analysis results in one or more measures exceeding or approaching said baseline. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for a processor to provide remote notification of a possible medical condition in an individual comprising the steps of:
-
measuring an autonomic reflex parameter in an individual, analyzing said measurement against a pre-determined acceptable range for said measurement, upon determining that said measurement is outside said range, transmitting a message to a pre-determined destination indicating said measurement is outside said range, wherein said transmitting is delivered using the internet. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
