Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003517687
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for a wireless health monitoring system for interactively monitoring a disease or health condition of a patient (38) by connecting an internet-enabled wireless web device ('WWD') (12) to a health monitoring device (11) which may be a medical device or other health related device such as an exercise machine. The WWD (12) may be connected to the health monitoring device directly by a wired connection (42) to a generic input/output device port of the WWD (12) using an optional adaptor if necessary. Alternatively, the WWD (12) may be wirelessly connected (16) to the health-monitoring device, such as via an infrared or radio frequency connection, including using protocols such as Bluetooth or 802.11. The wireless connection (16) may also employ an adaptor if necessary. The user may also input data to the WWD (12) manually, such as by a keypad, keyboard, stylus, or optionally by voice command (36). The health related data is transmitted from the WWD (12) to a server (37) using standard internet protocols. The server (37) calculates a response using a software program which may include an algorithm or artificial intelligence system, and may further provide for review by a physician or health specialist. The user may interact with the server (37). For example, the server (37) transmits a response to the WWD (12), and the user may answer the response or provide other information.
