Problems solved by technology

Therefore, use of this technique tends to reduce rather than improve consistency with self-monitoring techniques
Furthermore, none of these systems have proven useful in practice, as clinicians typically care for hundreds of patients

Embodiment Construction

[0033] Such as figure 1 A first embodiment of the invention is shown for a patient suffering from asthma. The system comprises an electronic flow meter 1 connected to a GPRS cellular phone 5 via a cable 3 . The cellular phone 5 can be connected to a remote server 9 via a GPRS wireless network 7 . Such asfigure 1 As shown, a clinician 11 such as a general practitioner (GP) can communicate with the server over the Internet 13 using a conventional telephone line 15 (of course other communication links could be used, such as a wireless connection) and an ISP 17 . Although shown and hereinafter refers to a cellular phone, the cellular phone may also be replaced by a PDA having phone functions as described above.

[0034] A GPRS phone maintains a permanent connection to the GPRS network as long as it is switched on. Therefore, the user does not need to initiate any form of dial-up or connection or session request. In this embodiment, the GPRS phone is provided with a software ap...

Abstract

A telemedicine system for monitoring chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes includes an electronic measurement device such as an electronic peak expiratory flow meter or an electronic blood glucose meter, connected to a GPRS cellular telephone. The cellular telephone automatically receives, formats and transmits the data on acquisition by the medical device to a remote server. The server may acknowledge the data and make the data available to a clinician. The server may also analyse the data and provide automatic alerts to the patient and / or clinician in the event of the data causing concern. The formatting and transmission of the data from the telephone to the server occurs in real time as the measurements are taken and is invisible to the patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to telemedicine systems, and in particular, to a system with improved operability making it especially suitable for home health monitoring. Background technique [0002] There are many chronic medical conditions that require the patient (or patients) to periodically measure some physiological parameter indicative of their state and record these values. Typically, these patients visit the clinic on a regular basis, where clinicians can view recorded values ​​and estimate the patient's health status. For example, it is generally accepted that part of effective treatment for patients with asthma is regular monitoring of their status. Specifically, daily self-measurement of lung function by patients allows clinicians to estimate disease severity and allows treatment (eg, dosage of drugs such as steroids) to be tailored to the patient's needs. Typically, lung function is measured by using a Wright peak flow meter to obtain pe...
