Patent number: 10064551Abstract: This disclosure describes a remote patient monitoring system configured to monitor one or more patient parameters via one or more monitoring apparatuses for transmitting patient data to a remote, central data-processing facility via a network. The system further includes an interactive voice recognition (“IVR”) system and mobile interfaces for health data collection and transmission via direction communication with the patient. According to embodiments, with the information received from the patient monitoring system, one or more scored indicative of a patient's health status is calculated. The scores are compared to threshold values and, based on the comparisons, further action is taken. For example, a medical caregiver can evaluate the patient's condition, including the effectiveness of the drug therapy, patient compliance, whether the patient's condition is improving, whether the patient requires hospitalization or an office consultation to prevent the condition from getting worse, etc.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2013Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Cardiocom, LLCInventors: Daniel L.

Patent number: 9454644Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for remotely monitoring the health of an ambulatory patient. As described herein, an ambulatory patient may interact with a monitoring device that is located at the patient's home. The monitoring device may ask the patient to provide responses to health-related questions or requests for physiological characteristics and may upload the responses. A health care professional may then use the responses to evaluate the health of the patient. A set of firmware instructions stored on the monitoring device may cause the monitoring device to perform these functions. The monitoring device may download a prompt that is associated with at least one instruction in the set of firmware instructions. The prompt may cause the patient monitoring device to execute the at least one instruction in the set of firmware instructions to gather information relating to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2013Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Inventors: Daniel L.

Publication number: 20150106124Abstract: A system and method for ensuring the accuracy of health related information. This system is used for receiving, processing, analyzing, and verifying the accuracy of healthcare data prior to its transmission to a client. Embodiment described may enable patient data, collected from various patient input devices, to be automatically filtered or categorized into one of several categories. The categories are based on the potential accuracy of the data, which are determined by a set of pre-determined rules. Data that surpasses accuracy testing may then be transmitted to a client (hospitals, patient physicians, patient caregivers, patients, etc.) for review and/or incorporation into client records. Data that fails accuracy testing may be discarded.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2014Publication date: April 16, 2015Applicant: Medtronic, IncInventors: Daniel L. COSENTINO, Brian A. Golden
