Abstract
Systems and methods for remote monitoring of patient treatment are disclosed. A medical device may transmit telemetry directly to a patient terminal, or the medical device may be retrofitted with instrumentation for the patient terminal to collect telemetry. The patient terminal may collect patient self-reporting data. The telemetry and the self-reporting data may be sent to a cloud server, which may store the patient data. The patient data may be used to generate an alert, or it may be sent to a doctor terminal for display and review.
Claims7
A remote patient feedback system configured to electronically transmit real-time patient data about a patient undergoing treatment, the system configured to receive objective physiological patient data and subjective patient self-reporting data and to combine the objective data and the subjective data for transmission to a health care professional, the system comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect an objective physiological parameter of a patient in real-time;
- and
- a computer system configured to process and store objective patient data and subjective patient data, the objective patient data comprising the objective physiological parameter detected by the sensor, the computer system comprising:
- a display device configured to display a graphical user interface comprising an interactive option configured to permit input of subjective patient self-reporting data based upon at least one of how the patient is responding to treatment and how the patient is feeling at any one point in time, the subjective patient data enhancing the value of the objective physiological patient data when both are transmitted to the patient's health care professional,
- an electronic interface configured to connect to the sensor and to receive object patient data from the sensor,
- a memory device configured to store objective and subjective patient data, and
- a network device configured to connect to a remote computer system and to digitally transmit the objective and subjective patient data to the patient's health care professional.
A computerized method for storing and transmitting patient data, including objective patient physiological data and subjective patient self-reporting data, the method comprising:
- storing a health care professional profile associated with a health care professional;
- storing a patient profile associated with a patient and associating the patient profile with the health care professional profile;
- receiving from a remote computer system and storing objective patient physiological data and subjective patient self-reporting data, the objective patient data comprising an objective physiological parameter of the patient, the subjective patient data comprising at least one of an indication of how the patient is responding to treatment and an indication of how the patient is feeling at any one point in time, the subjective patient data enhancing the value of the objective physiological patient data when both are reviewed by the health care professional;
- and
- transmitting the patient data to a doctor terminal associated with the health care professional.
