Abstract: A remote administrator to allow a caregiver to configure a user's wireless device includes a master software client in the remote administrator and a controllable software client in the wireless device. Commands transmitted to the wireless device from the remote administrator allow the caregiver to configure the user's wireless device based on user initiated configuration requested.

Abstract: A personal virtual assistant is provided. The personal virtual assistant includes a medical device and remote station that is connectable via a wireless network to a server containing a control processor and rules engine. The medical device is used to provide physiological information to the remote station. The remote station communicates the physiological information and other related information to the server that monitors the information for a number of reasons, including determining whether the physiological information has a trend. Based on the detrimental trend, the server communicates back to the remote station virtual assistance in the form of advice regarding tips to help facilitate halting or reversing the trend.

Abstract: A cellular telephone including a medical device to monitor the medical or health condition of a user is provided. The cellular telephone is provided with a keypad that is movable from a first position, where a first display and keypad is exposed, to a second position where a second display and keypad is exposed. In the first position, the cellular telephone operates in a conventional cellular telephone manner. In the second position, the cellular telephone operates as the medical device. The second display and/or keypad is hidden from public view when the keypad is in the first position.

Abstract: A remote station apparatus comprises a transmit/receive circuit that is operable to transmit/receive signals to/from a communications network. A control processor receives signals from the transmit/receive circuit, the signals comprising an audio signal to be provided to a user through a user interface. The control processor is operable to modify the audio signal to shift, compress, and/or amplify one or more frequency bands based on predetermined audio signal modification parameters prior to providing the audio signal to the user interface. The audio signal modification parameters may be determined based on the user's hearing ability and/or preferences.
