Audio Feedback for Medical Conditions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for monitoring one or more medical conditions in a human patient, and for providing essentially immediate feedback concerning the one or more medical conditions to the patient;
- said apparatus comprising one or more sensors, a processor, a read/write medium, and an audio output device, wherein;
(a) said one or more sensors are adapted to make one or more measurements that pertain to one or more medical conditions in the patient; and
to output the one or more measurements to said processor;
(b) said processor is programmed to correlate the one or more measurements from said one or more sensors to the presence or absence of one or more medical conditions in the patient; and
to command said read/write medium to transit one or more audio cues to said audio output device when one or more medical conditions are detected;
(c) said read/write medium is adapted to store one or more audio cues that are input from a source; and
is adapted to transmit one or more audio cues to said audio output device upon command from said processor;
(d) said audio output device is adapted to play the one or more audio cues so that the patient hears the one or more audio cues, and the patient thereby receives feedback concerning the one or more medical conditions; and
(e) said apparatus is adapted and programmed thus to provide audio cue feedback to the patient when one or more medical conditions are present with essentially no delay.

Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed that comprises a sensor to detect a medical condition; a processor to evaluate the signals from the sensor; an input device and read/write medium to record cues that correspond to the various condition(s) detected by the sensor; and an audio output device to play prerecorded audio cues when a particular medical condition is detected. The audio cue provides a unique reminder message to encourage a person to take a certain action that is healthy.
