Embodiment Construction

[0028] refer to figure 1 , the medical communication system includes a medical server 10 having a storage device, and includes an audio / video recording and playback device 12 . The medical server 10 is operatively connected to the Internet 14 to send and receive data in an addressable manner. For example, at the Internet Protocol / Transmission Control Protocol (IP / TCP) level, using the figure 1 The medical server is addressed by its Internet Protocol (IP) address represented graphically as "IP#S" in . At the Hypertext Transfer Protocol level (http, i.e., the World Wide Web level), the server can be suitably identified by means of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) such as "http: / / www.medserver.com / ", using the Domain Name System or domain name service or Domain Name Server (DNS) lookup to translate Uniform Resource Locators into IP addresses. In some embodiments, IP addresses change dynamically, and URLs and appropriately updated DNS provide translation to IP addresses. Altho...

Abstract

A medical communication system includes a plurality of end-user audio / video recording and playback devices (40) disposed with recipients of medical assistance, and a medical server (10) configured to receive audio / video messages (90') generated by the end-user audio / video devices and to generate and transmit audio / video responses (94) to targeted end-user audio / video devices. The medical server includes an audio / video recording and playback device (12) configured to playback received audio / video messages and to record audio / video responses, and the end user audio / video recording and playback devices are configured to playback audio / video responses (94') received from the server. In some embodiments, each end-user audio / video device includes: a video recording lens (62); a microphone (64);and an automatic lens cover (63) arranged to physically block the video recording lens except during recording of audio / video content. In some embodiments, each end-user audio / video device includes aconsumer entertainment device (50, 52).

Patient self-care (eg, taking medication promptly, maintaining exercise and diet, etc.) can also be adversely affected despite the patient's lack of understanding of dosage or other therapeutic aspects involved. Poor communication can also have adverse effects on the mental health of the patient, such as causing depression, apathy, etc. in the patient. Poor communication can also lead to patients not reporting physical or...
