Abstract
A system and method for transacting an automated patient communications session is described. A patent health condition is monitored by regularly collecting physiological measures through an implantable medical device. A patient communications session is activated through a patient communications interface including, an implantable microphone and an implantable speaker in response to a patient-provided activation code. An identification of the patient is authenticated based on pre-defined uniquely identifying patient characteristics. Spoken patient information is received through the implantable microphone and verbal system information is played through the implantable speaker. The patient communications session is terminated by closing the patient communications interface. The physiological measures and the spoken patient information are sent.

33. A system for soliciting directly-collected normalized voice feedback for use in automated patient care, comprising:
-
a medical device having a sensor monitoring and recording one or more physiological measures relating to individual patient information from an anatomical site at least one of directly and derivatively; an implantable microphone interfacing and recording one or more quality of life measures relating to normalized spoken patient self-assessment indicators, each quality of life measure recorded substantially contemporaneous to the physiological measures; and a database storing patient care records with each record containing the physiological measures and the quality of life measures. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
