Abstract
A medical system includes a network; one or more medical data collection appliances coupled to the network, each appliance transmitting data conforming to an interoperable format; and a server coupled to the network to store data for each individual in accordance with the interoperable format.
Claims21
An interoperable health-care system, comprising:
- a network;
- a first medical appliance including a first sensor to capture a first vital information including weight and coupled to the network, the first medical appliance transmitting the first vital information conforming to an interoperable format to a base station;
- wherein the interoperable format is used by a plurality of vendors, and
- a second medical appliance including a second sensor to capture a second vital information including blood pressure and coupled to the network, each of the first and second medical appliances converting the vital information in accordance with the interoperable format and processing the first and second vital information,
- wherein the interoperable format enables different appliances monitoring medical conditions to share medical data, wherein the interoperable format includes a protocol for the first and second medical appliances to locate each other's data and detect patient health based on a combination of the different first and second medical condition data captured through the medical appliances, wherein the network translates data into an interoperable format accessible by a third medical appliance to receive at least patient weight and blood pressure generated by the first and second medical appliances over the network.

A method to provide interoperability among health-care systems, comprising:
- collecting medical data using a first medical data collection appliance for a first medical information of a patient coupled to a network, the first appliance transmitting data conforming to an interoperable format, wherein the medical data is transmitted using a first wireless protocol;
- translating the medical data to a format compatible with a second appliance for a second medical information of the patient and sending the translated medical data to the second appliance using one of the first 802 protocol and a second 802 wireless protocol;
- and
- storing data for each individual in accordance with the interoperable format;
- and
- wherein the network translates data into an interoperable format accessible by a third medical appliance to receive at least patient weight and blood pressure generated by other medical appliances over the network.
