Abstract: A central server controls the receipt and analysis of patient medical data and patient information. The central server receives patient medical data and patient information from a sensor or a remote computer. A storage system of the central server stores the received patient medical data, patient information, and the associated medical report prepared by the analysis software on the central server after analysis of the patient medical data. The medical report associated with the patient medical data is transmitted from the central server to the remote computer. Also, a method controls the acquisition and analysis of patient medical data over a network by a central server from a remote computer operably interconnected by the network with the central server.

Abstract: High resolution full disclosure ECG data is transferred from a body sensor device to a handheld device via a wireless protocol. The handheld device transfers the full disclosure ECG data via a cellular network to a data center for analysis. A monitoring center communicating with the data center facilitates technician and physician review and interactions.

Abstract: Electrocardiogram data is received in association with a subject, the electrocardiogram data comprising a series of RR intervals and a series of QT intervals. A first value which indicates an amount by which uncertainty associated with the QT intervals is reduced given the RR intervals is generated. A second value which indicates an amount by which uncertainty associated with the RR intervals is reduced given the QT intervals is generated. The subject is determined to be associated with a low risk of cardiac dysfunction responsive to the first value exceeding the second value and a result of the determination is provided.

Abstract: An inflatable bladder supports the body of a person and relieves pressure on a portion of the body not engaging the bladder. The bladder has at least one rear chamber adapted to receive and maintain a first charge of fluid. At least one front chamber supports the legs of the person and has two support legs. The support legs are spaced apart from each other to form a channel between the support legs. The channel is sized and shaped for placement beneath a portion of the body to relieve pressure on the portion. The front chamber is adapted to receive and maintain a second charge of fluid separately from the rear chamber.

Abstract: The invention is a central server configured to control the receipt and analysis of patient medical data and patient information. The central server controls access to the patient medical data by an analysis workstation that is responsive to a medical specialist. The analysis workstation analyzes the patient medical data and prepares a medical report associated with the patient medical data. The central server comprises a first communication interface for receiving patient medical data and patient information from a remote computer and for transmitting the medical report associated with the patient medical data to the remote computer. A storage system stores the received patient medical data, patient information, and the associated medical report. A processor is configured to control access to and analysis of the patient medical data by the analysis workstation and the medical specialist and is configured to control access to the medical report.

Abstract: A system used by a technician for evaluating a Holter ECG tape having a signal representing a series of waveforms thereon and for generating a report reflecting the evaluation. A tape reader generates from the ECG tape an analog signal representative of the ECG waveforms recorded on the tape. An A/D converter converts the analog signal into a digital signal. A computer including a data bus, a memory, a processor controls the operation of the system. A display displays waveforms representing the ECG. A storage device is connected to the data bus. A direct memory access device moves the digital signals from the converter to the memory for storing the digital signal in the storage device. The converter provides at least a 12 bit a digital signal corresponding to the analog signal and includes means for converting the 12 bit digital signal to an 8 bit digital signal.
