Remote health monitoring system
First Claim
1. A system for remote physiologic monitoring, in association with a remote server, of a body of a patient, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, each sensor of the plurality of sensors configured to be coupled to the body of the patient to generate respective physiologic data about the body;
a transceiver assembly comprising a memory, a controller and a wireless transceiver, the transceiver assembly being communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and configured to;
receive the physiologic data from the plurality of sensors;
store the received physiologic data in the memory (“
more detailed data”
);
continuously stream a subset of the received physiologic data (“
less detailed data”
) in real time, via the wireless transceiver, to the remote server, wherein the less detailed data sent to the remote server is characterized by at least one of;
a lower resolution than the more detailed data stored in the memory for a corresponding time period, and a lower sampling rate than the more detailed data stored in the memory for a corresponding time period; and
fetch at least a portion of the more detailed data from the memory and send the fetched more detailed data to the remote server, in response to a signal from the remote server based on the remote server determining that the less detailed data indicates a health-related anomaly.

Abstract
A data collection system collects and stores physiological data from an ambulatory patient at a high resolution and/or a high data rate (“more detailed data”) and sends a low-resolution and/or downsampled version of the data (“less detailed data”) to a remote server via a wireless network. The server automatically analyzes the less detailed data to detect an anomaly. A two-tiered analysis is used, where the first tier is less specific than the second tier. If the less specific analysis detects or suspects the anomaly, the server signals the data collector to send more detailed data that corresponds to a time period associated with the anomaly. The more specific second tier analysis the more detailed data to verify the anomaly. The server may also store the received data and make it available to a user.

18. A method for remote physiologic monitoring of a body of a patient, the method comprising:
-
receiving physiologic data from a plurality of sensors coupled to the body of the patient; storing the received physiologic data in a memory (“
more detailed data”
);continuously and wirelessly streaming a subset of the received physiologic data (“
less detailed data”
) to a remote server in real time, wherein the less detailed data sent to the remote server is characterized by at least one of;
a lower resolution than the more detailed data stored in the memory for a corresponding time period, and a lower sampling rate than the more detailed data stored in the memory for a corresponding time period; andfetching at least a portion of the more detailed data from the memory and sending the fetched more detailed data to the remote server, in response to a signal from the remote server based on the remote server determining that the less detailed data indicates a health-related anomaly. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A system for remote physiologic monitoring, in association with a remote server, of a body of a patient, the system comprising:
-
at least one sensor configured to be coupled to the body of the patient to generate physiologic data about the body; a transceiver assembly comprising a memory, a controller and a wireless transceiver, the transceiver assembly being communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and configured to; receive the physiologic data from the at least one sensor; store the received physiologic data in the memory (“
more detailed data”
);continuously stream a subset of the received physiologic data (“
less detailed data”
) in real time regardless of whether the less detailed data is indicative of a health-related anomaly, via the wireless transceiver, to the remote server; andfetch at least a portion of the more detailed data from the memory and send the fetched more detailed data to the remote server, in response to a signal from the remote server. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
