Problems solved by technology

Such written logs are subject to errors or missing data, and are usually only reviewed by a healthcare provider during routine checkups.
In addition, some patients do not want to cooperate and take the readings that are needed, posing an additional problem to the healthcare provider.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the bio-information sensor monitoring system of the present invention. The system and method is designed to collect, store and forward the information measured, sensed, or otherwise captured by various bio-sensors to a central web-hosted database, where treatment providers can gain access to the data collected by the bio-sensors. The system and method provides a portable means for the bio-information to be collected. The system and method can be used to remotely monitor any biological data including, but not limited to, blood oxygen, blood carbon dioxide, insulin levels, heart rate, temperature, respiration, and any other biological data based on the specific bio-sensor(s) being used in the bio-information unit. The system allows for the one or more portable bio-sensors to be worn, attached, or otherwise utilized by a subject for an extended period of time in an untethered fashion. The data collected by the bio-information unit is wirelessly for...

Abstract

A bio-information monitoring system passively monitors a patient with a remote portable bio-information unit that takes various bio-information measurements at selected time intervals as well as at random times without patient intervention. The measurements are converted to digital signals which are transmitted from the bio-information unit to a modem when the bio-information unit is in proximity to the modem. The signals are stored in the modem and uploaded to a central monitoring network. Automatic alerts may be sent from the central monitoring network to a treatment provider. The treatment provider may also access the information through secured dedicated websites via the Internet.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 10 / 441,960, filed on May 19, 2003, titled “BIO-INFORMATION SENSOR MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD,” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This application is also related to a co-pending patent application Ser. No. 10 / 441,940 by Hawthorne et al. titled “METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOTE BLOOD ALCOHOL MONITORING” and filed on May 19, 2003, which is owned by the same assignee of this invention.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to medical monitoring systems, and more particularly, relates to an improved passive method and system for monitoring bio-information of a subject. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] In-home monitoring for the purpose of health management of chronic disease patients typically requires the patients to attach monitors of various kinds to their bodies, actuate the monitors to take various bio-information readings, and...
