Abstract: A Wellness Management Services (WMS system) for use in a healthcare system in which a healthcare provider must spend a minimum unit of time on a single patient within a billing period to bill for said time, said WMS system comprising: (a) a provider portal configured to display a general page in which a plurality of patients are listed along with links to patient-specific pages, at least a portion of said patient-specific pages displaying biometric data, said provider portal also being configured to display said patient-specific pages upon selection by said provider; and (b) a computational module being configured to record session time said provider spends on each of said patient-specific pages in a given session, and being configured to calculate total time said provider spent on said patient-specific pages for all sessions within said billing period for each of said plurality of patients.

Abstract: A portable hand-held spirometer is disclosed for use in taking respiratory tests and storing and displaying test results. The configuration of the spirometer includes handgrips that are positioned to ensure that the user is properly positioned to provide maximum breathing required for valid test results to be obtained. The spirometer also includes a progressively illuminated indicator that can be viewed by the user during a test to provide an indication in real-time to the user of the expected/desired duration of the exhalation or inhalation test. The indicator is completely illuminated only when the measured accumulated volume of air passing through the spirometer equals a predicted volume determined based on the age, gender, height, weight and ethnicity of the user stored in the spirometer. The structures and arrangement of a turbine assembly and sensors is also disclosed. Further, a method of receiving, storing and displaying information on the spirometer via a color touch screen display is also disclosed.

Abstract: A spirometer for correlating test results with other user date to indicate a relationship, said spirometer comprising: (a) a processor; (b) memory operatively connected to said processor and configured with instruction to instruct the processor to perform the following steps: (i) recording spirometer results of a user; (ii) correlating said results with user data, said user data comprising at least one of a medication log, a medical diary, a baseline performance for said user provided by a healthcare provider, or other results from other testing devices; and (iii) indicating a relationship between said results and said user data.

Abstract: A dose counter for a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) has an actuator housing and canister with an activation valve at a valve end of the canister. The dose counter includes a circuit assembly having a substrate with at least a first and a second switch thereon. The first and second switches are sized and positioned to interact with the valve end of the canister when the canister moves from a rest position to an activation position, such that the first switch is triggered when the canister reaches a first longitudinal position and the second switch is triggered when the canister reaches a second longitudinal position that is offset from the first longitudinal position during movement of the canister from the rest position to the activation position. A counting circuit is configured to receive a signal from the first and second switches and to determine when the metered dose inhaler is activated.
