Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the field of healthcare. Particularly, in the remote monitoring and modulation of a medical device on or in a subject. The present invention provides both systems and methods for remote monitoring of a subject, as well remote treatment of a subject (e.g. modulation of a medical device).
Claims53
A system comprising:
- a) a medical device capable of detecting subject information;
- b) a central monitoring system comprising computer memory, a computer processor, and a data server application, wherein said central monitoring system is capable of processing said subject information to generate manipulated information;
- and
- c) a receiving device comprising computer memory, wherein said receiving device is capable of receiving said subject information from said medical device and transmitting said subject information to said central monitoring system, wherein said receiving device is further capable of receiving said manipulated information from said central monitoring system, and wherein said receiving device is further capable of being calibrated by utilizing said manipulated information.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- a) providing:
- i) a subject,
- ii) a medical device capable of detecting subject information,
- iii) a central monitoring system comprising computer memory, a computer processor, and a data server application, wherein said central monitoring system is capable of processing said subject information to generate manipulated information, and
- iv) a receiving device comprising computer memory, wherein said receiving device is capable of receiving said subject information from said medical device and transmitting said subject information to said central monitoring system, wherein said receiving device is further capable of receiving said manipulated information from said central monitoring system, and wherein said receiving device is further capable of being calibrated by utilizing said manipulated information;
- and
- b) contacting said medical device with said subject such that said medical device detects subject information;
- c) receiving said subject information in said receiving device;
- d) transmitting said subject information to said central monitoring system, and
- e) processing said subject information with said central monitoring system such that manipulated information is generated.
