  • Patent number: 10115172
    Abstract: A goal module (78, 198, 298) includes one or more content sessions (80, 82, 200, 202, 204, 224, 300, 318) cooperatively directed toward achieving a projected health management goal. At least one feedback path (48, 86, 140, 142, 210, 234, 312, 322, 410) provides at least one input indicative of a trend in a patient progress toward achieving the projected health management goal. A care plan manager (84) dynamically configures or modifies at least one of the goal module (78, 198, 298) and content sessions (80, 82, 200, 202, 204, 224, 300, 318) based at least on the one input and intervention rules so that the patient's progress toward the projected health management goal is optimized.

  • Patent number: 8015034
    Abstract: A care plan management system (10) includes a server (12) including a content database (14) containing care management-related content including multiple revisions of at least some said content. Each content revision is tagged with temporal content revision information. A care plans storage (18) stores a plurality of patient care plans (21, 22, 23) associated with corresponding patients. Each patient care plan includes a selection of care management-related content to be presented to the patient, and a revision policy indicating which temporal revision of said content should be presented. User interfaces (31, 32, 33) are operatively connected with a communication interface (28) of the server (12) to receive and present the selected care management-related content.

  • Publication number: 20100023350
    Abstract: Often when a patient is diagnosed with an ongoing or chronic health care condition, it is desirable to prescribe an ongoing treatment regimen to that patient. In this type of environment, a user interface device (12) performs a self registration and patient association over a public or private network (20) to avoid the process of having to be registered and associated in a factory setting. The interface device (12) contacts a registration server (32) over a public or private network (20) and presents factory-configured credentials. The registration server (32) upon proper authentication of the device (12) then directs the device (12) to a configuration server that will associate it with a particular patient or treatment regimen. One the patient's treatment is complete, the device (12) can be returned and re associated with another patient, effectively recycling the device (12).

  • Publication number: 20090205042
    Abstract: A health management system (10) comprises a user interface (48) which enables an entry of a patient identification. An association device or means (130, 152) associates the biometric data acquired by medical monitoring devices (821, 822, . . . ) with the entered patient identification.

  • Publication number: 20080288284
    Abstract: A first station (12, 16) at least sends audio/visual content to audio/visual devices (50, 92). A user interface (50) displays audio/visual content received from the first station (12, 16) when the audio/visual devices (50, 92) are properly configured. A control device (52, 120) communicates with the audio/visual devices (50, 92) to adjust the audio/visual devices configurations to display the received audio/visual content on the user interface (50).
