Abstract: References to personal medical data stored in individual computers are stored in a central computer, but not the personal medical data itself. The central computer receives from a user computer a request for personal medical data. It transmits to the user computer only the references to the corresponding personal medical data.

Abstract: A central computer receives from a supplier a parameter set for a data technologically parameterizable device and buffer-stores it. The central computer communicates the parameter set to a decision-maker. It incorporates the parameter set into a parameter set list if the central computer is prescribed an acceptance command by an operator. Parameter sets incorporated into the parameter set list can be communicated from the central computer to an interrogator at the request of the interrogator.

Abstract: In an operating method for a reception computer, the reception computer, via a computer network or a point-to-point connection, receives voice data from a user computer that are transmitted encrypted, deciphers the communicated, encrypted voice data and produces a text datafile corresponding to the deciphered voice data.

Abstract: A medical system architecture has a workstation for acquiring and/or post-processing data and/or examination images, the workstation including an image processing system based on a component-oriented architecture, into which procedures for producing and manipulating text information (findings) are linked by means of generic objects and interfaces, so that the corresponding procedures can be flexibly replaced without modification at the medical image processing system.

Abstract: In an apparatus and a method for automatic determination of an individually adapted, non-prefabricated training unit based on the individual learning need of a trainee, an input device, a data bank containing all training modules with their dependencies on one another, and a selection device for generating the training unit (7) from the existing training modules are provided. The dependencies of training modules on one another are taken into consideration in generating the training unit in response to an entry by the trainee made via the input device.

Abstract: In a medical system architecture with a modality for acquiring examination images, a workstation allocated to the modality for acquiring and/or post-processing data and/or examination images, a device for the transmission of data and of the examination images, a device for storing the data and examination images, and with further workstations for post-processing the data and examination images, a call system for the transmission of messages is allocated to at least one of the workstations.

Abstract: A system for generating a humanly perceptible signal at one or more predetermined points in time, at which one or more medications must be taken or a time-dependent medical procedure must be implemented, includes a control unit at which the time or times are stored, and which includes a time measuring unit which provides a signal upon the occurrence of the time or times, and at least one signaling device disposed remote from said control unit, which receives a signal via a communication system from the control unit and which emits a visually perceptible reminder upon receipt of the signal. The control unit and the signal device are disposed in a building which is occupied, or can be occupied at times, by a patient, and the communication system is integrated as a part of the building.

Abstract: In an autonomous emergency monitoring system, wherein the user need not carry any signaling devices whatsoever, an emergency situation can be reported to an external receiver by voice input via microphones via a communication interface. Further, a monitoring of the person can ensue via sensor systems that can likewise setup an external connection via the communication interface.

Abstract: A device for the acquisition of coordinative abilities of a test person, allows different tests that test different coordinative abilities of the test person to be executed with the aid of a control unit. The control unit evaluates the individual test results and combines them to form a relevant quantitative overall assessment of the coordinative competence of the test person. This overall assessment is presented via a corresponding output unit, such as a screen.

Abstract: A patient monitoring system, particularly for orthopedics, is designed for use by the medical layman and provides this person with information relating to the exercises or activities he performs. To this end, a sensor array produces sensor signals which are stored in a first memory and are compared to the contents of a second memory (ideal signal pattern). The comparison result is made available to the user via a display or as a biofeedback.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for determining the energy balance of a living subject on the basis of the energy use and on the basis of nutrition intake, the energy balance is calculated on the basis of a determined energy use of the subject and on the basis of an input of the nutrition intake of the subject via an input unit. This calculation takes place in a calculating unit supplied with a signal corresponding to the energy use, using a value of the calorific value of the food that can be obtained from a memory. A signal corresponding to this energy balance can be generated on a display unit.
