1. A system comprising:
- at least one in-home sensor of a physiological parameter of a person;
control circuitry and executable software, local to the sensor, that provide data analysis and that develop trend information on-site in a home of the person, the control circuitry receives information from the at least one sensor via a wired or wireless medium, the software evaluates the information from the at least one sensor relative to at least one baseline;
multi-level access control software, local to and coupled to the control circuitry, the multi-level access control software providing access to medical and personal information of the person at a predetermined level in response to a locally entered password, the predetermined level of accessible information selected from a plurality of stored levels of medical and personal information, said multi-level access control software having an access level for caregivers based upon entry of a first password by the caregiver and another access level for a physician based upon entry of a second password by the physician and wherein pre-approved portions of the medical and personal information of the person is automatically available to emergency responders without a password only in the presence of the person;
an input device, local to and coupled to the control circuitry, the input device enabling the person to manually enter condition related information; and
an output device, local to and coupled to the control circuitry, the control circuitry visually presenting substantially real-time trend information to the person based upon the information from the at least one sensor and the input device.

Abstract
A physiological condition monitor can provide substantially real-time feedback to an individual being monitored. The feedback can be in the form of graphical displays of real-time trends. Both audible and visual warnings can be provided to the individual in response to results of trend analysis.

11. A monitoring system comprising:
-
a plurality of in-home sensors of different physiological conditions of an individual; control circuits wired to communicate or wirelessly communicating at least some of the sensors and receiving indicia indicative of respective physiological conditions of the individual; a display unit local to the control circuits and coupled thereto, the display unit including a manually operable input device with the control circuits acquiring inputs entered by the individual using the control device with the control circuits including control software that provides data analysis and that develops trend information on-site in a home of the individual, the control software is responsive to the inputs from the plurality of in-home sensors and the manually operable input device and automatically generates condition indicating graphs on the display unit; and multi-level access control software, local to and coupled to the control circuits, the multi-level access control software providing access to medical and personal information of the individual at a predetermined level in response to a locally entered password, the predetermined level of accessible information selected from a plurality of stored levels of medical and personal information, said multi-level access control software having an access level for caregivers based upon entry of a first password by the caregiver and another access level for a physician based upon entry of a second password by the physician and wherein pre-approved portions of the medical and personal information of the individual is automatically available to emergency responders without a password only in the presence of the individual. - View Dependent Claims (12, 14)
