Abstract

A patient monitor system implemented by a service provider for users via recording a patients analytes measurements by an attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared total spectroscopy method. The system comprises an input module that provides a non-invasive method in measuring analytes in a patient, such as a measurement of the glucose level and other blood analytes. The measurement is shared among a plurality of output devices such as computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, and pagers that are stationed or held by various users such as doctors, patients, researchers, pharmacies, labs, and health insurers. In addition behavioral attributes are recorded and correlated with the analytes measurements to generate a profile. The profile is selectively sent to output devices based on the user profile corresponding to the output device. Also, access to the profile is monitored by a security module that encrypts the profile to prevent access by un-authorized users.

Description

BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The invention relates in general to devices and methods for improving the delivery of patient information and care to patients, particularly to transactions involved in utilizing a non-invasive monitoring system to deliver physiological information to patients and patients' service providers.[0003] 2. Description of Related Art[0004] Numerous diseases require the monitoring of various physiological attributes of a patient. These attributes such as blood glucose level and other blood analytes' level are invaluable to patients and health service providers such as doctors, medical professions, pharmacies, researchers insurance companies, and government agencies.[0005] Particularly in patients with diabetes, monitoring the level of blood glucose is extremely important in controlling the patient's health, and decreasing or delaying the damaging effects of uncontrolled blood glucose. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does ...
