Abstract

Embodiments of the present teachings disclose method, system, and programs that utilize a gateway and an optional interactive voice response system to allow remote monitoring of a patient'"'"'s vital signs.

Claims

1. A patient monitoring system for remotely monitoring a patient'"'"'s vital signs comprising:

a sensor for measuring the patient'"'"'s vital signs;

a data gateway for collecting the patient'"'"'s vital signs;

a patient response system; and

a portal for processing the patient'"'"'s vital signs,

wherein the data gateway communicates the collected patient vital signs to the portal in response to a patient management protocol.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the patient response system is an active voice response system.

8. The patient monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the sensor is a multipurpose sensor.

9. The patient monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the sensor is an application on a smart device.

2. A method for remotely monitoring a patient'"'"'s vital signs comprising:

contacting, via a patient response system, the patient to be monitored;

authenticating, via a data gateway, the patients identity;

initiating, on a server, a disease management protocol for the patient;

obtaining the patient'"'"'s vital signs, via a sensor connected to the data gateway, in accordance with the disease management protocol;

verifying a criteria about the obtained patient'"'"'s vital signs; and

communicating the patient'"'"'s obtained vital signs to the server.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the patient response system is an active voice response system.

5. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

detecting the absence of vital sign data in the sensor;

contacting the patient through the patient response system; and

reminding the patient to submit vital sign data using the sensors.

6. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

providing, via the patient response system, instructions and feedbacks to the patient based on a date and a time of the vital sign data.

7. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

providing, via the patient response system, instructions and feedbacks to the patient based on status data of the sensor received from the data gateway.

10. The method of claim 2, wherein the authenticating is accomplished by at least one of the following:

a patient identification number, a patient biometric identifier, a voice recognition system and an equipment identifier.

11. The method of claim 2, wherein the patient response system schedules reminder interactions with the patient to remind the patient to take vitals.
