Abstract

A system for medical diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment is described, including a medical band comprising one or more sensors configured to gather data associated with at least one symptom of a medical condition, a memory configured to store the data and an application, the application being configured to determine the medical condition using the data, a processor configured to execute the application, and a notification facility configured to provide a notification upon receiving from the application an instruction associated with the notification, wherein the notification is associated with a diet.

Claims

1. A medical band, comprising:

one or more sensors configured to gather data associated with at least one symptom of a medical condition;

a memory configured to store the data and an application, the application being configured to determine the medical condition using the data;

a processor configured to execute the application; and

a notification facility configured to provide a notification upon receiving from the application an instruction associated with the notification, wherein the notification is associated with a diet.

2. The medical band of claim 1, wherein the medical condition comprises a negative reaction associated with food.

3. The medical band of claim 1, wherein the medical condition comprises a lack of a nutrient.

4. The medical band of claim 1, wherein the medical condition comprises a blood sugar level.

5. The medical band of claim 1, further comprising a communications facility configured to receive patient medical records data.

6. The medical band of claim 1, further comprising a communications facility configured to receive healthcare professional data.

7. The medical band of claim 1, wherein the notification comprises a vibration.

8. The medical band of claim 1, wherein the notification is defined by user input data.

9. The medical band of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a mode of operation based on the data.
