Abstract: A system and method is provided which predicts patient health problems so that timely help may be provided to the patient. In one embodiment, a patent monitors one or more of their biometric characteristics using a biometric data reader for at least several days. The biometric data is then passed to a central server that develops a model of the patient's normal biometric readings and normal procedures for taking a biometric reading including time of day and frequency of readings. Later readings are compared to the patient's model and a significant deviation from the model by the patient is correlated with patient data like diagnosis, claims history, demographics, etc to predict the onset of a health problem.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for personalized health care. In one embodiment, a patent monitors one or more of their biometric characteristics using a biometric data reader several times a day for at least several days. The biometric data is then passed to a central server that reviews the biometric data and determines if there are any undesirable spikes or troughs in the readings. If so, then the timing of the patient taking their medication is adjusted so that more medication is available in the patient's system when needed to combat the spikes or troughs.

Abstract: A patient monitoring system provides enhanced functional capability relative to known systems and provides a wireless communication link between a patient monitoring device, worn by a patient, and a local hub. The patient monitoring system is adapted to monitor various patient physiological characteristics, such as blood pressure, pulse rate, blood glucose, weight, pulse oximetry and others. The data from the patient monitoring device is wirelessly transmitted to a local hub, which, in turn, is configured to automatically transfer the data to a remote server, for example, over a public or private communications network. In one embodiment of the invention, the server is configured as a web portal to selectively allow access to such patient physiological data by designated third parties, such as physicians, clinicians, relatives and the patient themselves.
