System and method for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory insufficiency for automated remote patient care
First Claim
1. A system for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory insufficiency for automated remote patient care, comprising:
- a database storing a plurality of monitoring sets which each comprise recorded measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis; and
a server retrieving and processing a plurality of the monitoring sets, comprising;
a comparison module determining a patient status change by comparing at least one recorded measure from each of the monitoring sets to at least one other recorded measure with both recorded measures relating to a same type of patient information; and
an analysis module testing the patient status change against an indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared, the indicator threshold corresponding to a pathophysiology indicative of;
an onset of respiratory insufficiency if a finding of respiratory insufficiency was not previously diagnosed, a progression or regression of respiratory insufficiency if respiratory insufficiency was previously diagnosed, and a status quo of respiratory insufficiency if no such patient status change is detected.

Abstract
A system for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory insufficiency for automated remote patient care is presented. A database stores monitoring sets containing recorded measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis. A server retrieving and processing the monitoring sets includes a comparison module determining a patient status change by comparing at least one recorded measure from each of the monitoring sets to at least one other recorded measure with both recorded measures relating to a same type of patient information; and an analysis module testing each patient status change against an indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared, the indicator threshold corresponding to a quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiology indicative of respiratory insufficiency.
