Abstract
A method and system for performing telemedicine includes a real time video conference session between patient and physician coupled with patient physiology sensors for facilitating an initial diagnosis, followed by an ad hoc set of medical sensors to assist in defining a refined diagnosis.
Claims16
A method for performing remote medicine (telemedicine), comprising:
- receiving a request for a remote medical session,
- connecting the patient to a medical practitioner through a video link,
- establishing an initial remote diagnosis based on one or more of:
- a) a discussion, via the video link, between the medical practitioner and one or more of:
- the patient, and an authorized support person (also referred to as a care-provider), and
- b) data from one or more physiological sensors that provide ongoing monitoring of the patient, and
- validating the initial remote diagnosis by capturing medical data using one or more medical sensors that the patient, a care-provider, or other person is instructed to apply or use with the patient as part of the remote medical session.
4 more elements
A system for providing telemedicine, comprising:
- a physician communication platform,
- a patient communication platform, wherein the communication platforms are adapted to conduct a video communication session between the patient and physician communication platforms,
- one or more physiological sensors (also referred to as patient monitoring devices) that perform ongoing monitoring of the patient,
- one or more medical sensors, and
- a server system for collecting data from the communication session between physician and patient, data from the one or more physiological sensors, and data from the one or more medical sensors, wherein the server system includes a processor connected to memory which includes machine-readable code defining an algorithm for analyzing the data from at least one of:
- the data from a physiological sensor, and data from a medical sensor, to identify a physiological conditions (also referred to herein as a flagging event).
