Description
A SYSTEM FOR REMOTE MONITORING, DETECTING DISEASES AND PROVIDING HEALTHCARE SERVICESFIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a system for providing healthcare facilities. Particularly, the present invention relates to a system for detecting diseases through a handheld device that is remote patient monitoring (RPM) device and eco-system for detection of cardiac emergencies & chronic diseases (Like Hypertension, diabetes, TB, Thyroid , Anaemia & various cardiac diseases ). More particularly, the present invention helps in providing healthcare facilities at the remote level itself on a real time basis and subsequently connecting patients to a healthcare provider, thereby providing an ecosystem of healthcare services accessible in remote locations and in public transportation, such as Railways & Airplanes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Healthcare landscape is a tale of contrasts, with urban centres boasting state-of-the-art medical facilities while rural areas continue to grapple with a myriad of healthcare challenges. Rural areas, faces unique obstacles that hinder access to quality healthcare. One of the most pressing issues in rural areas is the limited availability of healthcare facilities. Many villages lack even the most basic healthcare infrastructure, such as primary health centres (PHCs) and hospitals. This results in residents having to travel long distances to seek medical care, often at great personal and financial cost. Compounding this problem is the severe shortage of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff. Healthcare workers tend to gravitate towards urban areas due to better career prospects and living conditions, leaving rural populations underserved.
[0003] Even when healthcare facilities exist, they frequently lack essential medical supplies and equipment, which hampers the ability to provide timely and effective care, especially in emergencies or critical medical situations. Additionally, socio-economic factors such as poverty and limited financial resources further exacerbates the challenge, as many individuals cannot afford to pay for healthcare services or medications, and this financial burden can deter them from seeking medical help. Further, poor transportation infrastructure, including roads and public transportation, makes it difficult for rural residents to reach healthcare facilities in a timely manner, especially during emergencies.
[0004] Moreover, in the event of a cardiac emergency or other critical health issue on any running train, immediate assistance is not readily available, patients has to wait in suffering till next junction for any doctor or medical help, this delayed critical time can worsen the prognosis of patients. Additionally, in airplanes, medical emergencies, such as cardiac issues, often lack immediate treatment options, which can be life-threatening for passengers.
[0005] There are several patent applications comprising a system for monitoring and treating a patient. The United States Patent Application US6612985B2discloses a method for monitoring and treating a patient with one or more diagnosed conditions includes a few steps. A current assessment of each of the diagnosed conditions is determined in a treatment processing system. The current assessment is based on objective data and subjective data about each of the diagnosed conditions from the patient who is at a remote location and on one or more assessment guidelines for each of the diagnosed conditions. Next, an existing treatment plan for each of the diagnosed conditions is updated using the treatment processing system. The updated treatment plan is based on the existing treatment plan, the current assessment and on one or more treatment guidelines for each of the diagnosed conditions. The updated treatment plan for each of the diagnosed conditions is then transmitted to the patient for application by the patient at the remote location. However, the cited invention fails to provide a device that is capable of measuring multiple parameters like blood pressure, blood glucose level, heart rate, pulse rate, haemoglobin, and SPO2. Further, the cited invention lacks any facility of providing consultation by the expert healthcare provider.
[0006] The United States Patent Application US20210161442A1 discloses wireless patient monitor comprises a generic activator module having a universal connection port that connects with any one of multiple sensor devices, a battery, and a radio transmitter wirelessly connected to a host device. The generic activator module connects to any one of multiple sensor devices via the universal connection port to provide power from the battery to the sensor device and to receive digital physiological data from the sensor device. The radio transmitter transmits the digital physiological data received from the sensor device to a host device. However, the cited invention does not provide measurement of blood glucose and haemoglobin. Furthermore, there is no provision of treatment of diagnosed diseases.
[0007] Therefore, keeping in view the problems associated with the state of the art there is a need of a system for remote person monitoring, detecting diseases accurately as per the actual medical conditions of patients based on their essential parameters and providing treatment on real time basis that can address the aforementioned problems in more efficient and effective manner.OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a system for remote person monitoring, detecting diseases, and providing healthcare services.
[0009] Another objective of the present invention is to provide an ecosystem for detecting diseases in remote areas and public transports and providing healthcare consultation with healthcare provider on real time basis by the top consultants of urban areas.
[0010] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a healthcare system that is cost- effective, easy to use, and simple.
[0011] Another objective of the present invention is to eliminate the gap in Healthcare sector by early analysing & treating some of the prevailing diseases such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Tuberculosis, Anaemia, and Cardiac diseases in rural areas.
[0012] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a single device equipped with the comprehensive features necessary to analyse disease and also ecosystem to treat remote patients effectively.
[0013] Another objective of the present invention is to provide promptly analyse and initiate early consultation with healthcare provider of cardiac diseases in railway and plane passengers by consulting specialist consultants, enabling immediate life-saving care during emergencies.
[0014] Another objective of the present invention is to bridge the gap between rural patients and urban specialists and experienced medical professionals, thereby improving healthcare access for those in remote or underserved areas.
[0015] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a device that contributes to cost reduction in healthcare by eliminating the necessity for costly travel. This helps in minimizing healthcare expenses for rural patients, making healthcare more affordable and accessible.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OFDRA WINGS
