System and method for monitoring user-related data from a person
DCFirst Claim
1. A physiological data monitoring system comprising:
- (a) at least one central server arranged to receive and communicate data;
(b) at least one microprocessor-based subsystem(i) including at least one microprocessor, a display and a memory,(ii) configured to present information on the display and provide a digital signal representative of physiological data from a person, and(iii) arranged to establish a communication link to the central server, facilitate a communication of the physiological data on the communication link to the central server and disconnect the communication link after the communication of the physiological data has finished; and
(c) at least one health care professional computer in signal communication with the central server to receive health-related information based on the physiological data received from the microprocessor-based subsystem, wherein the central server stores additional data received from the health care professional computer and provides the additional data to the microprocessor-based subsystem to run after the communication link has been established by the microprocessor-based subsystem, the additional data including instructions to the person effecting a change in a treatment regimen based on earlier physiological data.

Abstract
Monitoring airflow from a person is accomplished by using a central server arranged to receive and communicate data together with at least one microprocessor-based subsystem. The subsystem includes a microprocessor, a display and a memory. It presents information to the person on the display and processes a digital signal representing airflow from the person. Airflow-related data is communicated to the central server and, in turn, is communicated to at least one health care professional computer. The system can be used to realize systems for self-care monitoring and control of afflictions and physical conditions, such as chronic respiratory afflictions. The system can also be used together with other monitoring devices, such as glucose, blood pressure, pulse and temperature monitors, to monitor the person'"'"'s condition and to communicate related data to the central server.
