Customizable Health Monitoring
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a health-monitoring prescription for a patient, the health-monitoring prescription requiring multiple health-monitoring acts, the multiple health-monitoring acts at prescribed times or events;
responsive to receiving the health-monitoring prescription and based on the prescribed times or events occurring, prompting the patient, for each of the prescribed times or events and through a mobile computing device, to initiate use of a health-monitoring device that is associated with the mobile computing device and capable of performing the multiple health-monitoring acts;
receiving, from the health-monitoring device, results from performance of the multiple health-monitoring acts for the patient; and
responsive to receiving the results from the performance of the health-monitoring acts, providing the results to an entity associated with the health-monitoring prescription.

Abstract
This document describes customizable health monitoring. The techniques described enable a medical professional to monitor a person'"'"'s health in their normal course of life, such as prior to each meal, during exercising, while at the office, and so forth. These techniques also enable monitoring that is tailored to that particular person to better understand a suspected problem or a known condition. By so doing, a medical professional can monitor a person over various times and situations, which adds detail and robustness to the data collected. The techniques permit remote tracking and data transfer as well, thereby enabling the health professional to gain the desired information quickly and easily without requiring the patient or the health professional to wait for, or waste time on, an in-person visit.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a health-monitoring prescription for a patient, the health-monitoring prescription requiring multiple health-monitoring acts at prescribed patient conditions; determining, through one or more passive sensors of a mobile computing device or patient-associated data of the mobile computing device, that the prescribed patient condition is occurring; responsive to the determination, prompting the patient to initiate use of a health-monitoring device that is associated with the mobile computing device and is capable of performing the multiple health-monitoring acts; and responsive to receiving a result from the performance of one of the health-monitoring acts, providing the result to an entity associated with the health-monitoring prescription. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
