A system for determining a reference baseline of patient information for automated remote patient care is presented. A medical device regularly records and stores measures sets including individual measures relating to patient information by a medical device adapted to be implanted during an initial time period. A database collects one or more patient care records containing the collected measures sets. A database module stores the collected measures set into a patient care record within the database. A server receives the collected device measures set from the medical device via a receiver. An analysis module within the server processes the collected device measures set into a set of reference measures. Each reference measure is representative of measured or derived patient information. The reference measures set is stored into the patient care record as data in a reference baseline indicating an initial patient status.

A system for diagnosing and monitoring congestive heart failure for automated remote patient care is presented. A database stores a plurality of monitoring sets relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis. A server retrieving and processing the monitoring sets includes a comparison module determining patient status changes by comparing at least one recorded measure from one of the monitoring sets to at least one other recorded measure from another of the monitoring sets with both recorded measures relating to a type of patient information, and an analysis module testing each patient status change for one of an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of congestive heart failure against a predetermined indicator threshold corresponding to a type of patient information as the recorded measures. The indicator threshold corresponds to a quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiology indicative of congestive heart failure.

A portable ventilator uses a Roots-type blower as a compressor to reduce both the size and power consumption of the ventilator. Various functional aspects of the ventilator are delegated to multiple subassemblies having dedicated controllers and software that interact with a ventilator processor to provide user interface functions, exhalation control and flow control servos, and monitoring of patient status. The ventilator overcomes noise problems through the use of noise reducing pressure compensating orifices on the Roots blower housing and multiple baffling chambers. The ventilator is configured with a highly portable form factor, and may be used as a stand-alone device or as a docked device having a docking cradle with enhanced interface and monitoring capabilities.
