Online monitoring of patient for routine checkups
First Claim
1. A computer implemented system for performing remote monitoring of a patient during a routine checkup, comprising:
- a local server configured for receiving instructions from a medical professional and processing the instructions into commands for remote broadcast;
a network device in remote communication with the local server, the network device configured for processing the commands for remote broadcast received from the local server; and
at least one modular diagnostic tool communicable with the network device over a standardized communications link, the at least one modular diagnostic tool configured for obtaining diagnostic information from the patient, wherein;
a first portion of the commands for remote broadcast includes directions to the patient for installation of the at least one modular diagnostic tool in the network device,the at least one modular diagnostic tool is initialized for operation by the network device,the at least one modular diagnostic tool is operable by the medical professional based on a second portion of the commands for remote broadcast to obtain the diagnostic information, andthe network device, when connected with the at least one modular diagnostic tool over the standardized communications link, executes an automated process to upload the diagnostic information to the local server for collection and analysis by the medical professional.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for performing remote monitoring of a patient during a routine checkup is provided. A local server is adapted for receiving instructions from a medical professional and processing the instructions into commands for remote broadcast. A network device is in remote communication with the local server. At least one modular diagnostic tool is communicable with the network device over a standardized communications link. The at least one modular diagnostic tool is operable by the medical professional based on a second portion of the commands for remote broadcast to obtain the diagnostic information. Upon a communications connection between the modular diagnostic tool and the network device, an automated process is executed to upload the diagnostic information from the modular diagnostic tool to the local server for collection and analysis.

15. A computer program product for performing remote monitoring of a patient during a routine checkup by at least one processor device in communication with a memory device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein and executed by a processor device, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
a first executable portion for receiving instructions from a medical professional on a local server; a second executable portion for processing the instructions into commands for remote broadcast; a third executable portion for forwarding the commands for remote broadcast to a network device over a network path; a fourth executable portion for processing the commands for remote broadcast received from the local server on the network device; a fifth executable portion for directing the patient to install a modular diagnostic tool in the network device using a first portion of the commands for remote broadcast; a sixth executable portion for initializing the modular diagnostic tool for operation and communication with the network device over a standardized communications link; a seventh executable portion for operating the modular diagnostic tool by the medical professional over the network path using a second portion of the commands for remote broadcast to obtain diagnostic information; and an eighth executable portion for, upon a communications connection between the modular diagnostic tool and the network device, performing an automated process on the network device to upload the diagnostic information from the modular diagnostic the local server for collection and analysis by the medical professional. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
