Method for Recording and Evaluation of Measurements Related to the Condition of a Patient for Configuration of a Portable, Patient-Controlled Device Operated to Record Said Measurements and Related Device
First Claim
1. A method for recording and evaluating measured values relating to the condition of a patient for the purpose of configuring a portable appliance which is used by the patient and which is operated for the purpose of recording the measured values, the method comprising:
- recording at least one measured value describing the condition of the patient using the appliance,transmitting at least one of the measured value and at least one variable derived therefrom to an evaluation device via a communication link,evaluating at least one of the measured value and the variable by the or on the evaluation device in order for at least one of an expert system and an expert to ascertain patient-specific information,transmitting configuration data ascertained taking account of the patient-specific information back to the appliance via the or a further communication link, andconfiguring the appliance in accordance with the configuration data,wherein an appliance which is designed to output at least one of patient information and warnings on the basis of at least one action criterion which evaluates the measured value or on the basis of at least one threshold value, is used, wherein the appliance is provided with updated action criteria or updated threshold values ascertained as part of the measured value evaluation on the evaluation device, by the configuration data.

Abstract
In a method for recording and evaluating measurements related to the condition of a patient for configuration of a portable, patient-controlled device operated to record the measurements,—at least one measurement describing the condition of the patient is recorded by the device,—the measurement and/or at least one parameter derived therefrom is/are transferred to an evaluation device via a communication connection,—the measurement and/or the parameter is/are evaluated by or on the evaluation device by an expert system and/or an expert to determine patient-specific information,—configuration data ascertained in consideration of the patient-specific information is transferred back to the device via the or another communication connection, and—the device is configured according to the configuration data.

17. An apparatus for the assisted self-examination of a patient, comprising a portable assisted self-examination of a patient, comprising a portable appliance which is used by the patient and which is operated for the purpose of recording at least one measured value relating to the condition of a patient, which appliance is connected or can be connected to an evaluation device via a bidirectional communication link, and the evaluation device, designed to
record at least one measured value describing the condition of the patient using the appliance, transmit at least one of the measured value and at least one variable derived therefrom to an evaluation device via a communication link, evaluate at least one of the measured value and the variable by the or on the evaluation device in order for at least one of an expert system and an expert to ascertain patient-specific information, transmit configuration data ascertained taking account of the patient-specific information back to the appliance via the or a further communication link, and configure the appliance in accordance with the configuration data, wherein an appliance which is designed to output at least one of patient information and warnings on the basis of at least one action criterion which evaluates the measured value or on the basis of at least one threshold value, is used, wherein the appliance is provided with updated action criteria or updated threshold values ascertained as part of the measured value evaluation on the evaluation device, by the configuration data.
