Abstract

The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a device, system, and method for remote healthcare. A personal health server device is connected to one or more wired or wireless medical devices. The medical devices monitor medical data such as heart rate, body weight, oxygen saturation, medical adherence, blood coagulation, blood pressure, glucose, temperature, or activity level. The personal health server device stores the medical data from the medical devices and wirelessly transmits the medical data to web enabled browsers through a cellular carrier using a cellular carrier signal such as 3G, 4G, or LTE, with no need for an internet connection.

Claims

1. A device comprising:

a receiver configured to connect to a medical device configured to obtain medical data;

a storage connected to the receiver, wherein the storage is configured to store the medical data from the medical device; and

a transmitter connected to the storage, wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit wirelessly the medical data to a web enabled browser through a cellular carrier using a cellular carrier signal.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the cellular carrier signal comprises 3G, 4G, or LTE.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the medical device comprises a heart rate monitor, a body weight scale, an oxygen saturation monitor, a medical adherence monitor, a blood coagulation monitor, a blood pressure monitor, a glucose monitor, a temperature monitor, or an activity level monitor.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the web enabled browser comprises a smartphone or a personal computer.

5. The device of claim 4, wherein the smartphone comprises an app configured to display the medical data.

6. The device of claim 1, further comprising a backup battery.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the medical device comprises a wireless medical device.

8. A method comprising:

connecting to a medical device configured to obtain medical data;

storing the medical data from the medical device; and

transmitting wirelessly the medical data to a web enabled browser through a cellular carrier using a cellular carrier signal.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the cellular carrier signal comprises 3G, 4G, or LTE.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the medical device comprises a heart rate monitor, a body weight scale, an oxygen saturation monitor, a medical adherence monitor, a blood coagulation monitor, a blood pressure monitor, a glucose monitor, a temperature monitor, or an activity level monitor.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the web enabled browser comprises a smartphone or a personal computer.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the smartphone comprises an app configured to display the medical data.

13. The method of claim 8, further comprising using a backup battery.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the medical device comprises a wireless medical device.

15. A system comprising:

a medical device configured to obtain medical data;

a receiver connected to the medical device and configured to receive the medical data;

a storage connected to the receiver, wherein the storage is configured to store the medical data from the medical device; and

a transmitter connected to the storage, wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit wirelessly the medical data to a web enabled browser through a cellular carrier using a cellular carrier signal.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the cellular carrier signal comprises 3G, 4G, or LTE.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the medical device comprises a heart rate monitor, a body weight scale, an oxygen saturation monitor, a medical adherence monitor, a blood coagulation monitor, a blood pressure monitor, a glucose monitor, a temperature monitor, or an activity level monitor.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the web enabled browser comprises a smartphone or a personal computer.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the smartphone comprises an app configured to display the medical data.

20. The system of claim 15, further comprising an apps store comprising medical apps.
