Method for managing treatment of a particular health condition via a phone device
First Claim
1. A method for managing treatment of a particular health condition afflicting a patient through the use of a mobile phone device, the method comprising:
- storing in a nonvolatile memory of a mobile phone device a health management application program configured to manage treatment of the particular health condition;
accessing the nonvolatile memory to upload into a processor of the mobile phone device and run the health management application program; and
programming the processor with the uploaded health management application program for;
controlling a display mounted on the mobile phone device to issue a prompt for entry of patient health condition data, including subjective patient symptom data, related to the particular health condition in a predefined drop-down list of such symptoms that may be individually selected and entered as data;
receiving patient health condition data, including analyte level data with associated times at which the data was taken from a patient and further including subjective patient symptom data with associated times at which the symptoms were experienced, related to the particular health condition from an input device;
storing the received patient health condition data along with times associated with the data in the nonvolatile memory of the mobile phone device;
compiling the stored patient health condition data into an accumulated data summary in which analyte levels at specific times are associated with subjective patient symptom data at the same times so that the summary shows an overall view of possible influences of subjective patient symptoms on analyte levels; and
transmitting the accumulated data summary from the mobile phone device to a second processing unit via a communication port of the mobile phone device.

Abstract
A method for managing treatment of a particular health condition afflicting a patient through the use of a mobile phone device which includes a health management program stored in the mobile phone device that prompts a user for entry of health condition data, including patient physiological data, subjective patient health condition data, and medication delivery data, compiles the health condition data into an accumulated data summary, and transmits the data summary from the mobile phone device to a second processing unit through a communication port. A drop-down list related to subjective symptoms is provided, which includes stress and depression. A touch screen is provided for a graphical user interface. The health management program also provides prompts for the entry of diet data, and further displays drop-down lists related to daily activities and alerts for medication delivery.

20. A method for managing treatment of a particular health condition afflicting a patient through the use of a cellular phone, the method comprising:
-
storing in a nonvolatile memory that is a component of a cellular phone a health management application program configured to manage treatment of the particular health condition; accessing the nonvolatile memory to upload and run the health management application program in a processor that is a component of the cellular phone; programming the processor with the uploaded health management application program for; controlling a display that is a component of the cellular phone to present a visual prompt for entry of patient health condition data related to the particular health condition, the display having a touch screen; controlling the display to issue an alert that a planned activity related to the particular health condition is due; controlling the display to issue a visual prompt for entry of patient health condition data, including subjective patient symptom data, related to the particular health condition in a predefined drop-down list of such subjective symptoms that may be individually selected and entered as data with the touch screen; receiving patient medication delivery data related to the particular health condition via the touch screen; receiving from the touch screen patient health condition data related to the particular health condition, including analyte level data with associated times at which the data were taken from a patient, and further including subjective patient symptom data with associated times at which the symptoms were experienced related to the particular health condition via the touch screen, selected from the pre-defined drop-down list; storing the received patient medication delivery data and patient health condition data in the nonvolatile memory component of the cellular phone along with the times associated with each of the data; compiling the stored patient medication delivery data into a data summary in which analyte levels at specific times are associated with subjective patient symptom data at the same times so that the summary shows a view of possible influences of subjective patient symptoms on analyte levels; and transmitting the data summary from a communication unit that is a component of the cellular phone via a network. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
