Prescription-customized medical hardware
First Claim
1. A method of providing customized medical monitoring of a patient to a medical care provider, comprising steps of:
- selecting a customizable medical monitoring device for the patient, the medical monitoring device associated with a biological transducer;
determining at least one intended health parameter;
customizing the customizable medical monitoring device according to at least one of a hardware prescription from the medical care provider, firmware or interchangeable software modules to monitor the at least one intended health parameter collected by the biological transducer;
providing the customizable medical monitoring device to the patient;
monitoring at least one health parameter of the patient from a remote location; and
reconfiguring either locally or remotely at least one patient-utilized hardware device of the customizable medical monitoring device according to the at least one of the hardware prescription from the medical care provider, the firmware or the interchangeable software modules;
wherein when the reconfiguring is based on the hardware prescription, the hardware prescription maps from an initial hardware prescription to a selection of contingent hardware prescriptions, and the hardware prescription for the reconfiguring is selected as needed from the initial and contingent hardware prescriptions according to the patient'"'"'s changing conditions and needs;
wherein the at least one patient-utilized hardware device of the customizable medical monitoring device is selected from the group consisting of memory, processing power, storage, and diagnostic module.
