System for maintenance and management of health
First Claim
1. A system for maintenance and management of health care for individual patients comprising a computer system with a condition monitoring device, in which physiological data measured on the patient is transmitted, entered and stored together with alarm signals and event information of the patient into a Condition Log, a supervision device, in which the alarm signals and event information are assessed and which transmits the alarm signals and event information to care givers involved in order to initiate a corrective action on the patient and to request a report about the corrective action and its results, and in which the reports are stored into a Shift Log, and an evaluating device, in which problems and the patterns of the measurements are evaluated by comparing the problems and patterns with accumulated information in a knowledge database, thereafter selecting appropriate corrective action to be recommended to the caregivers and requesting a report of the caregivers about the corrective action and its results, which reports are entered into the database accumulating and enlarging the knowledge database, and a communication system connected to the computer system for transmitting alarms and recommendations to a supervisor, who corrects and/or releases the alarms and recommendations, which are transmitted further to the caregivers for taking the recommended action.

Abstract
A Mobile Tele-Medical Maintenance system (MTMM system) applying different IT methods to perform different functions for the tele-medical maintenance of large numbers of individuals. The MTMM system includes a system kernel residing on web servers, linked to a large number of peripheral units on the individuals. The kernel containing the collection of all the “Private Medical Web Sites” and “Personal Health Plans” of the individuals. The MTMM system periphery including walk-in care offices and intelligent physio-logical sensors that can communicate directly with the kernel'"'"'s programs via the Internet or similar communication networks, preferably using the user'"'"'s phone and its traditional interfaces, message display plus message voice, and push-button plus voice input. The system kernel controlling directly actuators in the periphery and using message display and message voice output of the telephone to interact with the individual.
