Extensibility for Manipulation of Medical Data
First Claim
1. A method for extending a functionality of a computing device programmed to obtain physiological measurements from a patient, the method comprising:
- registering, at the computing device, a plug-in module, the plug-in module providing additional functionality for the computing device;
using the plug-in module to communicate with a medical device;
commanding the medical device to obtain physiological information from a patient;
receiving data associated with the physiological information from the medical device; and
transferring the data to a central repository.
