Abstract: An electronics tracking device is useful for tracking use of electronic devices, such as durable medical equipment (DME), typically used at remote locations, such as a patient's home. The electronics tracking device can be securely attached to an electronic device and a power cord that supplies power to the electronic device can be connected to the tracking device. The tracking device can then be connected, with its own power cord, to power. Power to the electronic device flows through the electronics tracking device. The electronics tracking device includes a wireless communications circuit that permits the device to send a signal to a monitoring location, where the signal includes data regarding whether the electronics tracking device is plugged in and whether the DME is powered on or off. The monitoring location can use exceptions to notify a DME provider when the DME is not used for a certain period of time.

Abstract: A user verification system verifies that a user taking a remote medical test, such as a home sleep study, is the actual user that is supposed to be taking the test. One issue in home sleep studies is that it can be difficult to confirm that the user that wore the home sleep monitor is actually the user that was supposed to take the test. The user verification system includes a wrist strap that, once attached to the user, cannot be removed without being noted in the home sleep study results. A probe connector can connect to the wrist strap in such a manner that removal of the probe connector from the wrist strap is noted in the home sleep study results. The probe connector can connect to a probe, such as a pulse oximeter, and can connect to a recording device that logs the data received from the probe.

Abstract: A tele-health solution promotes patient wellness and reduces healthcare costs while improving patient compliance. To qualify for home oxygen or CPAP machines, a user must monitor their blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), typically overnight. A DME provider is often used to provide the monitoring equipment, retrieve the monitoring equipment and get the data obtained to the physician. A system is discloses that allow the data obtained to be sent wirelessly, for example, via general packet radio service or the like, to a computer server that can generate the necessary report and electronic submit such report to the physician. This process can take minutes, rather than days. Moreover, the pulse oximeter can be outfitted with a good study indicator which monitors the time that data has been successfully measured by the device, allowing a determination of whether the data is adequate or if the device needs to be worn for another night.
