Patent number: 9489487Abstract: A bio-information monitoring system passively monitors a patient with a remote portable bio-information unit that takes various bio-information measurements at selected time intervals as well as at random times without patient intervention. The measurements are converted to digital signals which are transmitted from the bio-information unit to a modem when the bio-information unit is in proximity to the modem. The signals are stored in the modem and uploaded to a central monitoring network. Automatic alerts may be sent from the central monitoring network to a treatment provider. The treatment provider may also access the information through secured dedicated websites via the Internet.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2005Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Scott Hawthorne, Michael Leonard Iiams, Glenn Charles Tubb, Richard A. Stoll, Gary Alan Shoffner, Brian Kirby Phillips

Patent number: 9398858Abstract: A portable testing unit for biometric identity confirmation includes a housing with an orifice to receive a breath sample from the test subject, a spirometric sensor, and a pulse sensor adjacent to the orifice. A processor analyzes spirometric data from the spirometric sensor and simultaneous pulse wave data from the pulse sensor during the breath sample, together with stored subject characterization data for a known subject to confirm whether the identity of the test subject matches the known subject. A communications link enables the processor to communicate to the external station whether the identity of the test subject matches the known subject. For example, this portable testing unit can be used to control access to a secure facility or computer, authenticate the identity of a party in a financial transaction, or confirm the identity of the subject of an alcohol monitoring test.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Integrated Monitoring Systems, LLCInventors: Brian Kirby Phillips, Geoffrey A.

Patent number: 8317697Abstract: A tamper proof transdermal alcohol content monitoring device is made up of analog and digital sides which are securely attached to the human subject to be monitored. The analog side has a sampling circuit which draws a measured insensible skin perspiration sample from the skin of the subject and measured with an electrochemical fuel cell. A distance measurement of the device from the skin of the subject and temperature of the sample are monitored along with the transdermal alcohol content, and converted to digital signals which are transmitted to a modem when the monitor is in proximity to the modem. The signals are stored in the modem and uploaded to a central monitoring station. Automatic alerts may be sent from the central monitoring station to a supervising agency. The supervising agency may also access the information through secured dedicated websites via the Internet.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2006Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Scott Hawthorne, Brian Kirby Phillips, Michael Leonard Iiams, William James Roushey, III, Nolan James Farmer, Jr.
