System and method for providing closely-followed cardiac therapy management through automated patient care
First Claim
1. An method for providing closely-followed cardiac therapy management through automated patient care, comprising:
- selecting a patient having both a remotely monitorable therapy regimen and sufficient access to a network for communicating with a monitoring server;
enrolling the patient under remote care in a monitoring program following commencement of a cardiac therapy regimen to be undertaken by the patient;
providing a wearable monitor comprising one or more patient physiology sensors and a wireless interface providing enabling bi-directional data exchange;
periodically collecting patient physiometry comprising quantitative physiological measures from the wearable monitor over the wireless interface concomitant to performance of the cardiac therapy regimen;
evaluating the patient physiometry to determine a trend indicating an onset, progression, regression, absence of, and status quo of a patient health status;
forming one or more patient groups that each comprise sets of the qualitative physiological measures for a plurality of patients; and
analyzing the qualitative physiological measures sets in the patient groups based on one or more of pre-treatment phenotype, therapeutic response, and medication administered.

Abstract
A system and method for providing closely-followed cardiac therapy management through automated patient care is presented. A patient under remote care is enrolled in a monitoring program following commencement of a cardiac therapy regimen to be undertaken by the patient. A wearable monitor, including one or more patient physiology sensors and a wireless interface providing enabling bi-directional data exchange, is provided to the patient. Patient physiometry, including quantitative physiological measures, is periodically collected from the wearable monitor over the wireless interface concomitant to performance of the cardiac therapy regimen. The patient physiometry is evaluated to determine a trend indicating an onset, progression, regression, absence of, and status quo of patient health status.

10. An apparatus for providing closely-followed cardiac therapy management through automated patient care, comprising:
-
means for selecting a patient having both a remotely monitorable therapy regimen and sufficient access to a network for communicating with a monitoring server; means for enrolling the patient under remote care in a monitoring program following commencement of a cardiac therapy regimen to be undertaken by the patient; means for monitoring a patient with a wearable device, wherein the wearable device comprises one or more patient physiology sensors and a wireless interface providing enabling bi-directional data exchange; means for periodically collecting patient physiometry comprising quantitative physiological measures from the wearable monitor over the wireless interface concomitant to performance of the cardiac therapy regimen; means for evaluating the patient physiometry to determine a trend indicating an onset, progression, regression, absence of, and status quo of a patient health status; means for forming one or more patient groups that each comprise sets of the qualitative physiological measures for a plurality of patients; and means for analyzing the qualitative physiological measures sets in the patient groups based on one or more of pre-treatment phenotype, therapeutic response, and medication administered.
