Abstract
A physician house call portal comprises a processor and a memory coupled to the processor to store a patient station application, a communication system to communicate with a physician station via a network, an input/output (I/O) system coupled with an input device and an output device to allow a patient to communicate with a medical practitioner using the physician station, and a medical sensor to obtain a patient physiological parameter using the patient station application. Instructions in the memory configure the processor to allow the medical practitioner to perform an examination of the patient using the medical sensor.
Claims20
A physician house call portal, comprising:
- a processor and a memory coupled to the processor to store a patient station application;
- a communication system to communicate with a physician station via a network;
- an input/output (I/O) system coupled with an input device and an output device to allow a patient to communicate with a medical practitioner using the physician station;
- and
- a medical sensor to obtain a patient physiological parameter using the patient station application;
- wherein instructions in the memory configure the processor to allow the medical practitioner to perform an examination of the patient using the medical sensor.
A patient station, comprising:
- one or more medical device sensors to obtain one or more patient parameters from a patient;
- a camera to allow a medical practitioner to observe the patient regarding the one or more medical device sensors obtaining the one or more patient parameters;
- and
- a user interface to allow instructions to be received regarding the use of the one or more medical device sensors, wherein the instructions indicate one or more adjustments to be made regarding the one or more medical device sensors obtaining the one or more patient parameters.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed result in:
- establishing a communication link with a remotely located physician station;
- receiving instructions from the physician station regarding obtaining one or more patient parameters from a patient using one or more sensors;
- obtaining the one or more patient parameters from the patient using the one or more sensors;
- and
- transmitting the one or more patient parameters to the physician station.
