Abstract: The disclosure pertains to a secure intelligent networked system for identifying and correcting a defect in a health care service and method for using the same. The system receives data regarding patient care, generally obtained from commercial insurance claims, customer claims or Medicare claims. The system operates on a plurality of nodes configured based on a set of metrics associated with the appropriateness of health care measures. The system may generate a determination regarding the appropriateness of the measure. The system may further produce a second determination denoting a physician's overall conformity with appropriate standards of practice. Finally, the system may generate a knowledge narrative indicating an appropriate action.

Abstract: A bra configured to provide coverage of a patient's breasts and easy deployment of at least one health parameter sensor coupled to the patient's breasts is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first cup of the bra is sized and shaped differently than a second cup of the bra so as to allow one or more sensors to contact exposed portions of the patient's breast left exposed by the first cup. In a further embodiment, the bra includes at least one pocket located on one or both cups of the bra, the at least one pocket configured to hold and secure at least one health parameter sensor configured to transmit health parameter signals to a monitoring device either via a wire or wirelessly.

Abstract: A bra particularly suited for use during stress echocardiogram tests. The bra includes two cups for breasts, with at least one of the cups being removably securable. The bra also includes at least one retaining and/or supportive band that keeps one of the cups completely or at least partially in its normal position on a person while the other cup is not secured. In some aspects, the retaining and/or supportive band also is removably securable and/or forms at least part of one of the cups. The bra may further include at least one window in at least one of the cups for electrocardiogram leads. The bra may also include one or more strap adjusters, at least one window in at least one of the cups on the heart side for access of a sonogram or other sensor or imaging device, and one or more clasps for test leads.
