Abstract

A one integrated system that helps users to login using remote user interface/client—“Single Computer Screen” connected with a centralized one-integrated system (ihasClinic software framework). The ihasClinic framework allows electronic interactions using real-time audio and video between a patient, family, caregiver, medical professionals, social workers, and other professionals. The framework enables capturing standardized data, records and content of the patients, store the information captured into integrated Application database and or into its objects stored in the applications folders. The iHAS screen provides electronic interactions capabilities using real-time audio and video simultaneous interactions with a click of a button to have improved access and consultations between a patient, family, care-givers, medical professionals, social workers and specialists. The users can use iHAS screen to schedule or change or modify or delete appointments and join an interaction session

Claims

1. An integrated system enables visually monitoring patients and patient parameters from remote location that allows, including but not limited to, patients, caregivers and medical professionals (such as social workers, physiologists, mental health professionals, dieticians, physical therapists, etc.) wherein said system comprises a framework which is a combination of central server and web browser, said central server allows capturing standardized data, records, content of the patient entered information and transactional activity relating to a patient are stored in application database which allows the extraction of stored information as desired and appropriate for the personnel, said web browser being programmed to display a first interactive web page comprising display of audio video interactions, application data of the patient and plurality of operational mode graphical buttons;

a communication service engine which enables real time audio-video collaborations using media gateway;

a business logic layer which implements the business logic of the framework;

a programming engine to bridge the applications/systems and its database to provide access to these systems during a real-time collaboration session through the single web browser.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising the messaging engine determines the component that needs to activate based on the user preferred mode of communication and data/records the user is trying to access information, both read and/or write.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a next generation information search engines such as Active Intelligent Engine, AIE, wherein the search engine offers ease of use, secured information presentation, reliability, speed and efficiency of information search and presentation, and scalability.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein, said communication services engine capabilities are but not limited to, real-time audio-video streaming and recording;

activated voice response (AVR) and/or interactive voice response (IVR) functionality through AVR/IVR Services, and instant images are captured and stored using real-time video stream.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein said communication service engine allows the users to play/view stored videos, images and medical image information during a real-time collaboration session.

6. The system of claim 2, wherein said collaborating and messaging engine comprises an electronic mail component for transmitting said supervisory instructions in an electronic mail message.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the said framework enables capturing, storing and processing information during each interaction of a user(s) with the system and the programming instructions are organized into several modules and tightly integrated to provide efficient information capture, processing and retrieval capabilities without compromising on security of the information.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the information access during the real-time virtual face-to-face encounter can be presented from the integrated database, external applications, or extracted, analyzed and obtainable by the users during an encounter.

9. The system of claim 1, employs security standards for e.g. HIPAA compliance, data encryption, etc. required for secure virtual face-to-face encounters.
