First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical monitoring system comprising:
- I. A module comprising;
a. said module having a single mechanical housing that combines both medical diagnostic circuitry and supplemental video game circuitry for motivating or rewarding a user;
b. a display on the housing for displaying medical test results;
c. an interface that provides a physical connection from the housing into a hand held computing device;
d. aperture on the housing wherein the aperture is adapted to allow insertion, retention, and analysis of a medical blood test strip for performing a blood glucose analysis;
e. a power supply within the housing in the medical diagnostic circuit;
f. wherein the supplemental video game circuitry comprises a means for receiving an electrical input or a plurality of inputs from the hand held video game controller;
g. means for electronically sending medical testing results data from medical diagnostic circuitry to the supplemental video game circuitry;
h. means for temporarily storing the medical test results in a memory location of the supplemental video game circuitry for determination of reward data to motivate a user of the system; and
i. wherein said interface is used to send reward data from the to the hand held video game controller;
II. A hand held computing device consisting of;
a. A distinct operating system, power supply, and physical interface connection that allows for insertion and extraction and execution of different software programs of a particular mechanical interface;
b. An input device.
