Abstract

The invention provides a system and method of providing a user with specialized patient information comprising: uploading, storing, requesting, receiving, and displaying cardiological patient information for a patient. The display of the cardiological information is configured to optimal care to be provided to a patient.

Claims

1. A method of providing specialized patient information, comprising:

electronically acquiring specialized patient information, via a specially programmed computer server, from at least one of a plurality of patients, wherein each patient personally enters a part of the specialized patient information utilizing at least one of;

(a) a specifically programmed on-line user interface of a first internet equipped electronic device and

(b) a specifically programmed user interface of a first portable electronic device;

wherein the specialized patient information of said patient comprise at least all of the following;

i) past medical history of such patient, at least identifying whether such patient is taking at least one medication and has at least one allergy;

ii) cardiac history of such patient, at least identifying that such patient has or has not had at least one of the following;

1) coronary artery disease,

2) heart surgery,

3) percutaneous intervention,

4) congestive heart failure, and

5) at least one implantable device;

iii) an electrocardiogram of such patient;

storing, via the specifically programmed computer server, the acquired specialized patient information in a computer database;

responsive to the successful storage of the specialized patient information in said database, electronically requiring said patient to enter patient identification information to access the specialized patient information, wherein the patient identification information is selected from the group consisting of;

a user identification number, a user identification password, a user name, a user address, a user data of birth, a user email address, an enrollment date; and

an account status, or any combination thereof;

wherein each patient personally enters the patient identification information utilizing at least one of;

(a) a specifically programmed on-line user interface of a second internet equipped electronic device and

(b) a specifically programmed user interface of a second portable electronic device;

electronically transmitting, via the specially programmed computer server, the specialized patient information to a specifically programmed electronic portable device of the provider or a specifically programmed internet equipped electronic device of the provider;

wherein the provider is the patient'"'"'s doctor;

electronically requiring said provider pay a provider fee for access to the acquired specialized patient information;

wherein upon receipt of the provider fee, the provider may review, confirm, and have editorial control over the specialized patient information, to help ensure that the specialized patient information optimizes any treatment related to the patient.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the cardiac history comprising a cardiologically relevant factor.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the cardiologically relevant factor is selected from:

Hypertension;

CNS Bleed;

Diabetes;

GI Bleed;

Asthma;

Anemia;

Chronic Renal Insufficiency;

Pulmonary Embolus;

Hemodialysis;

Inferior Vena Cava Filter;

Cerebral Vascular Accident;

Carotid Endarterectomy;

Transient Ischemia Attack;

a malignancy;

an allergy; and

a medication.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the cardiologically relevant factor is selected from:

Neurocardiogenic Syncope;

data regarding Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the cardiologically relevant factor further comprises the history of the at least one implantable device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the provider fee is a periodic fee.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the periodic fee is selected from the group consisting of:

monthly and annually.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the specialized patient information includes an image.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the implant is selected from:

a Permanent Pacemaker;

an ICD;

a stent;

a BiVentricular Device; and

an Implantable Loop Recorder.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the provider is an entity giving emergency treatment to the patient.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the specialized patient information comprises at least one of the following types of information:

neurological patient information;

psycho-centric patient information;
