Medical information system

In a network including a plurality of patient terminals and a server terminal, a method of communicating medical information comprising the steps of:

• (a) storing only in the server terminal, a schedule showing a desired time for measuring at least one of a plurality of parameters indicating health of each patient;
• (b) transmitting and identifying from the server terminal to a respective patient terminal a parameter, based on the schedule stored only in the server terminal to be measured at a respective patient terminal;
• (c) measuring the parameter identified in step (b) at the respective patient terminal;
• (d) transmitting, from the respective patient terminal to the server terminal, the measured parameter, after measuring in step (c);
• and
• (e) repeating steps (b)-(d) for each of the other respective parameters based on the schedule to be measured stored only in the server terminal.

• (a) storing in the server terminal, a schedule showing a desired time for measuring at least one of a plurality of parameters indicating health of each patient;
• (b) transmitting and identifying from the server terminal to a respective patient terminal a parameter, based on the schedule stored in the server terminal, to be measured at a respective patient terminal;
• (c) determining only by the server terminal that the respective patient terminal has not made the measurement of step (b);
• and
• (d) transmitting by the server terminal to the respective patient terminal a predetermined alarm signal, if the server terminal makes the determination of step (c).

In a network including a plurality of patient terminals and a server terminal, a method of communicating medical information comprising the steps of:

• (a) storing in the server terminal, a schedule showing a desired time for measuring at least one of a plurality of parameters indicating health of each patient;
• (b) measuring a parameter of step (a) of a respective patient at a respective patient terminal at a time determined by the respective patient;
• (c) transmitting by the respective patient terminal to the server terminal the parameter measured in step (b);
• (d) receiving by the server terminal the parameter transmitted in step (c);
• and
• (e) comparing the parameter received in step (d) by the server terminal measured at the time determined in step (b) with the schedule of desired times in step (a);
• and
• (f) accepting by the server terminal the measurement of step (b) if the time comparison of step (e) is less than a predetermined time.
