FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[0001] This disclosure relates generally to the technical fields of a method, apparatus and system of personal healthcare management.

BACKGROUND

[0002] A health care provider (e.g., a doctor, a pharmacist, a dentist, etc.) may provide services to a group of patients. The health care provider may submit paper receipts and/or printed data of relevant health information to a particular patient of the group of patients. In an emergency scenario, the particular patient may use a personal communication device (e.g., a mobile telephone, a personal digital assistant, etc.) to contact a dispatch center (e.g., a 911 call center) rather than the health care provider. [0003] The dispatch center may not be in a position to obtain critical health information of the particular patient in a timely manner (e.g., may need to be done manually). The particular patient i may be of ill health and may not be able to

communicate clearly and/or accurately critical information regarding his/her health to the dispatch center. Furthermore, the particular patient may not remember adverse effects and/or relevant health relatqd details. ,

[0004] As such, the dispatch center may need to aggregate data laboriously from the health care provider and/or other health care providers (e.g., past and/or present) of the particular patient in order to provide care to the particular patient in the emergency scenario. The dispatch center may need to communicate this information through human interaction with a first responder (e.g., an ambulance, a paramedic, a fire department) that may be among a first to reach the particular patient. If the first responder does not receive a critical health information before they arrive at a physical location of the particular patient, the first responder may need to physically search a premise for medical records and/or medicines.

[0005] Alternatively, the first responder may need to rely on information collected from family, friends, witnesses, etc. in close proximity to a physical location of the particular patient. If the first responder is unable to get necessary information in the timely manner, the particular patient may suffer more harm than otherwise, and/or may be accidentally administered with a potentially fatal medical treatment.

SUMMARY

[0006] A method, apparatus and system of personal healthcare management are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes storing a crisis relevant data of a user of a personal communication module on the personal communication module, routing an emergency signal of the user from the personal communication module to a dispatch center, and automatically communicating the crisis relevant data to the dispatch center through the personal communication module.

[0007] The method may further include electronically communicating through the dispatch center the crisis relevant data of the user to a first responder (e.g., the crisis relevant data may aid the first responder in assessing a condition of the user in an emergency scenario) without manual reentry (e.g., and/or communication) by the dispatch center. The method may also include processing a communication of a health aggregation system (e.g., the health aggregation system may include a legal health data of the user having a healthcare power of attorney, a will, a trust, and/or other relevant corpus and res data of the user) to update (e.g., and/or synchronize) the crisis relevant data when the health aggregation system updates (e.g., and/or synchronizes) a health history data of the user based on a healthcare provider of the user providing a revised health data of the user (e.g., a reminder data may be also provided based on an appointment schedule between the healthcare provider and the user maintained by the health aggregation system) through middleware conversion layer(s).

[0008] The method may include providing the reminder data to the user based on an actual use data of a pharmaceutical substance communicated by the user to the personal communication module. For example, the reminder data may be again presented after a preset interval when a snooze algorithm is applied to the reminder data through a response of the user. The method may further include providing an interface to the user to reorder the pharmaceutical substance based on the actual use data, a projected calculation based on an initial input of dosage and pills, and/or a regimen defined by the user and/or the healthcare provider. The method may also include generating an alert data to the healthcare provider based on noncompliance with the regimen. Furthermore, the method may include segmenting through the health aggregation system a portion of the health history data of the user to create the crisis relevant data, an archival data, and/or a current data. [0009] The method may include enabling the user of the personal communication module to access the crisis relevant data, the archival data, and/or the current data directly through the personal communication module whenever the user communicates a request of the crisis relevant data, the archival data, and/or the current data to the personal communication module. The method may further include restricting access to the crisis relevant data, the archival data, and/or the current data based on a security algorithm that identifies an operator of the personal communication module as being the user associated with the crisis relevant data, the archival data, and/or the current data.

[0010] The method may include applying the security algorithm using a biometric information provided by the operator of the personal communication module including at an auditory data, a visual data, and/or a tactile data. The method may include devising the security algorithm to comply with one or more governmental regulations in a jurisdiction in which the personal communication module is presently located. The method may also include automatically determining a present location of the personal communication module through a global positioning algorithm. [0011] The method may further include automatically selecting the security algorithm currently activated on the personal communication module based on the one or more governmental regulations. The method may include providing an acute care guidance data to the user when a real time response data of a test provided to the user through an external device (e.g., the external device may be a blood pressure measurement device, a blood sugar measurement device, a temperature monitoring device, a heart rate monitoring device, a blood oxygenation device, a vital sign measuring device, and/or a sensory measurement device) that interfaces (e.g., wirelessly or otherwise) with the personal communication module is processed by the personal communication module. A recommendation to the user may be revised through the personal communication module based on an automatic analysis of the real time response data. The method may include providing an expense tracking data and/or an insurance coverage data to the user including a monthly premium data, a deductible

data, a co-pay data, a pre-approval data, a coverage data, a group plan data, an affiliate and partner data, a health savings: account data and/or a claim filing data. [0012] The method may include providing an electronic payment technology directly through the personal communication module through an integrated interface having an expense tracking data and/or the insurance coverage data to enable the user to remit payment to a service provider. The method may also include providing a diet and/or exercise data to the user of the personal communication module to enhance wellness of the user of the personal communication module, and/or providing a trend reporting data to the user of the personal communication module based on an analysis of changes to a health data of the user.

[0013] In addition, the method may include providing a consultation system (e.g.,) to the user through a treatment workflow provided by a reputed authority and organized based on a module that can be navigable by the user in which the health care provider is electronically and automatically contacted based on at least one response of the user to the treatment workflow. Further, a transcript of response to the consultation system by the user can be automatically provided to the health care provider. The consultation system may automatically display certain modules of the treatment workflow in a more quickly accessible location on the personal communication module through an analysis of historical navigation and selection data of the user. A symptom list may be created automatically, based on an outbreak in a geographic area of a virus, bacteria, and/or health alert. A travel advisory may be provided through

the consultation system to the user based on a geographic positioning system in the personal communication module.

[0014] In another aspect, a personal communication module includes a crisis module having an emergency relevant data of a primary user of the personal communication module, an update module to automatically bring up to date (e.g., and/or synchronize) the emergency relevant data based on a communication with a health vault module having profile information of multiple patients including the primary user of the personal communication module, and/or a routing module to automatically communicate the emergency relevant data to a dispatch center and/or a first responder when an emergency situation is detected by the personal communication module. [0015] The health vault module may aggregate health data of the primary user from multiple historical and/or current health care providers of the primary user. Each of the historical and/or current health care providers may be provided with a tailored interface module to provide a health data of the primary user to the health vault module. Any of the health data of the primary user may be accessible by the primary user through the personal communication module (e.g., land line phone, cell phone, SMS etc). ,

[0016] In yet another aspect, a system includes any number of health care providers of a user to each share a crisis relevant data, an archival data, and a current data of the user with a health vault module, a network, and/or a personal communication module carried on a person of the user to communicate with the health vault module through

the network, and through which is provided the crisis relevant data, the archival data, and/or the current data to the user on demand of the user through the personal communication module.

[0017] In addition, a dispatch center may automatically process the crisis relevant data of the user when the dispatch center is notified of an emergency situation affecting the user of the personal communication module. The health vault module may provide a diet and exercise data, to the user of the personal communication module to enhance wellness of the user of the personal communication module. The health vault module may provide a trend reporting data to the user of the personal communication module based on an analysis of changes to a health data of the user that may be voluntarily inputted by the user and/or provided by any number of health providers to the health vault module.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] A method, apparatus and system of personal healthcare management are disclosed. Although the present embodiments have been described with reference to specific example embodiments, it will be evident that various modifications and changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the various embodiments.

[0042] For example, according to one embodiment, a method includes storing a crisis relevant data of a user (e.g., a user 114 of Figure 1) of a personal communication module (e.g., a personal communication module 102 of Figure 1) on the personal communication module, routing an emergency signal of the user from the personal communication module to a dispatch center (e.g., a dispatch center module 110 of Figure 1), and automatically communicating the crisis relevant data to the dispatch center through the personal communication module.

[0043] In another embodiment, a personal communication module (e.g., a personal communication module 102 of Figure 2) includes a crisis module (e.g., a crisis module 206 of Figure 2) having an emergency relevant data of a primary user of the personal communication module, an update module (e.g., a update module 200 of Figure 2) to automatically bring up to date (e.g.,' and/or synchronize) the emergency relevant data based on a communication with a health vault module (e.g., a health vault module 100 as illustrated in Figure 1) having profile information of a plurality of patients including the primary user of the personal communication module, and a

routing module to automatically communicate the emergency relevant data to at least one of a dispatch center and a first responder when an emergency situation is detected by the personal communication module.

[0044] In yet another embodiment, a system includes a plurality of health care providers of a user (e.g., associated with health care modules 106) each to share a crisis relevant data, an archival data, and a current data of the user with a health vault module (e.g., as described in Figure 3), a network (e.g., a network 104 of Figure 1), and a personal communication module carried on a person of the user to communicate with the health vault module through the network, and through which is provided at least one of the crisis relevant data, the archival data, and the current data to the user on demand of the user through the personal communication module (e.g., as described in Figure 3).

[0045] Figure 1 is a system view of a' health vault module 100 coupled to health care provider modules 106 communicating with a personal communication module 102 and a dispatch center module 110 through a network 104, according to one embodiment. Particularly, Figure 1 illustrates the health vault module 100, the personal communication module 102, the network 104, the health care provider modules 106, a mobile network 108, the dispatch center module 110, a first responder module 112, a user 114, an external device 116, and a data processing system 118, according to one embodiment. The health vault module 100 may be a server and/or a computer that has physical and/or mental health condition info of the user 114. The

personal communication module 102 may be a personal digital assistant, a phone, a cellular device, a wrist watch, a device on a body of the user 114, an integrated device in the body of the user 114, and/or any other device that is associated and accessible by the user 114. The health care provider modules 106 may be associated with a doctor, a pharmacist, a druggist, a nurse, a dentist, a professional, a lab, an insurance company, a hospital, etc. The mobile network 108 may be a cellular and/or a telecommunication network that transmits information wirelessly. The dispatch center module 110 may be associated with a location that receives an emergency call (e.g., a '911' call center), a hospital, a senior care services provider, etc. The first responder module 112 may be an ambulance, a paramedic, someone who arrives at a crisis site first, a fire department, a first aid specialist, a police department, a security agency, etc.

[0046] The user 114 may be a senior citizen, a young adult, a child, a grown human, a physically disabled individual, a mentally challenged individual, a patient, etc. The external device 116 may be a blood pressure measurement device, a blood sugar measurement device, a temperature monitoring device, a heart rate monitoring device, a blood oxygenation device, a vital sign measuring device, and/or a sensory measurement device. The data processing system 118 may be a personal computer, a state machine, a mainframe, a server, a workstation, etc. The data processing system 118 may enable the user 114 to enter data about his/her personal health while at home (e.g., that may be later accessed through the personal communication 102).

[0047] For example, as illustrated in Figure 1, the health vault module 100 communicates with a health care provider module 106A, a health care provider module 106B, and a healthcare provider module 106N. In addition, the health vault module 100 as illustrated in the embodiment of Figure 1 communicates with the personal communication module through the network 104. The personal communication module 102 as illustrated in the embodiment of Figure 1 communicates with the user 114 and the external device 116. The personal communication module 102 may communicate with the health vault module 100 through the mobile network 108. Similarly, the external device 116 may also communicate with the health vault module 100 through the mobile network 108. [0048] In addition, the dispatch center module 110 as illustrated in the embodiment of Figure 1 communicates with the health vault module 100, the personal communication module 102, and the data processing system 118 through the network 104. The first responder module 112 may communicate through the mobile network 108 with the health vault module 100, the personal communication module 102, and the data processing system 118. In addition, the first responder module 112 may directly communicate with the dispatch center module 110 and the user 114. [0049] Furthermore, a crisis relevant data of a user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) of a personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1) may be stored on the personal communication module 102. An emergency signal of the user 114 may be routed from the personal communication module 102 to

a dispatch center (e.g., to the dispatch center module 110). The crisis relevant data 310 may be automatically communicated to the dispatch center (e.g., using the crisis module 206 of Figure 2) through the personal communication module 102. The crisis relevant data 310 of the user may be electronically communicated through the dispatch center to a first responder (e.g., the first responder module 112 of Figure 1) without manual reentry (e.g., and/or communication) by the dispatch center. The crisis relevant data 310 may aid the first responder in assessing a condition of the user 114 in an emergency scenario.

[0050] An external device (e.g., the external device 116 of Figure 1) may be a blood pressure measurement device, a blood sugar measurement device, a temperature monitoring device, a heart rate monitoring device, a blood oxygenation device, a vital sign measuring device, and/or a sensory measurement device. [0051] The health vault module 100 may aggregate health data of the primary user from any number of historical and/or current health care providers of the primary user. Each of the historical and/or current health care providers may be provided a tailored interface module (e.g., the crisis niodule 200 of Figure 2) to provide the health data of the primary user to the health vault module 100. [0052] The health data of the primary user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) may be accessible by the primary user through the personal communication module 102. Any number of health care providers of the user 114 may each share the crisis

relevant data 310, an archival data 312, and/or a current data 314 of the user 114 with a health vault module 100.

[0053] For example, the personal communication module 102 may be carried on a person of the user to communicate with the health vault module 100 through the network 104, and/or through which the crisis relevant data 310, the archival data 312, and/or the current data 314 may be provided to the user 114 on demand of the user 114 through the personal communication module 102. In an alternate embodiment, the personal communication module 102 may communicate through an access point and/or through other means (e.g., radio, point to point mobile communication, infrared network, etc.).

[0054] The dispatch center module 110 may automatically process the crisis relevant data 310 of the user when the dispatch center module 110 is notified of an emergency situation affecting the user 114 of the personal communication module 102. [0055] Figure 2 is an exploded view of the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1, according to one embodiment. < Particularly, Figure 2 illustrates a update module 200, a reminder module 202, a ¹ routing module 204, a crisis module 206, a user interface (UI) module 208, a reorder module 210, a acute care module 212, a global positioning module 214, a security module 216, an expense tracking module 218, a compliance module 220, an alert module 222, a snooze module 224, a trending module 226, a consultation module 228, a navigation analysis module 230, a wellness module 232, and an advisory module 234, according to one embodiment.

[0056] The update module 200 may refresh (e.g., synchronize) data associated with personal information of the user 114 through the personal communication module 102. The reminder module 202 may provide prompts, alerts etc. to the user 114 to take a medication and/or prescription. The routing module 204 may enable the personal communication module 102 to interact over the network 104. The crisis module 206 may automatically provide information to the dispatch center module 110 and/or the first responder module 112 in case of emergency. The UI module 208 may provide a graphical user interface view to the user 114 of the personal communication module 102. The reorder module 210 may enable the user 114 to repurchase, reorder, and/or submit a transaction request to a pharmacy, doctor, and/or other health care providers. The acute care module 212 may provide support in cases of severe, crisis, and/or grave health conditions through a series of automatic guidance techniques. The global positioning module 214 may provide geographic information indicating a location of the user 114 at a particular point in the world and/or a particular longitudinal and/or latitudinal place on the globe. The security module 216 may provide protection against external parties trying to access private information associated with the user 114 through a series of one or more algorithms and/or formulas that provide safety of confidential information associated with the user 114. [0057] The expense tracking module 218 may provide information about charges that are associated with health services incurred by the user 114. The compliance module 220 may provide information about conformity, observance, submission to a medical

and/or prescription regimen authorized by a health care provider to the user 114. The alert module 222 may provide a series of notifications in case of health adversities to the user 114 (e.g., automatically detected and/or user initiated). The snooze module 224 may temporarily halt a reminder and/or a notification to the user 114 for a preset and/or automatically adjustable window of time. The trending module 226 may provide information about tendencies, movement, development, leanings, etc. based on current and/or past medical history data and/or health care related data associated with the user 114.

[0058] The consultation module 228 may provide electronic and/or automatic information such as health care sessions, live chat, automated workflow direction, discussion, etc. with a reputed authority (e.g., forms of the Red Cross® and/or the American Medical Association®) and/or with a health care provider (e.g., a family doctor). The navigation analysis module 230 may be used to determine a next set of windows to reorder/display based on previous inputs of selection choices of the user 114, according to one embodiment: The wellness module 232 may be used to provide health, fitness, training, cardiovascular, anabolic, and/or catabolic information to the user 114, according to one embodiment. The advisory module 234 may be used to provide consultations and/or guidance to the user 114 automatically through the personal communication module 102, according to one embodiment. [0059] In the example embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, the update module 200 communicates with the reminder module 202, the crisis module 206, and the trending

module 226. The reminder module 202 also communicates with the snooze module 224, and the crisis module 206 communicates with the routing module 204. In the example embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, the routing module 204 also communicates with the UI module 208 and the global positioning module 214. [0060] The UI module communicates with the reorder module 210, the acute care module 212, the security module 216, the expense tracking module 218, the consultation module 228, and the wellness module 232. For example, as illustrated in Figure 2, the reorder module 210 also communicates with the compliance module 220. The global positioning module 214 interacts with the security module 216 and the advisory module 234, according to the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2. The compliance module 220 communicates with the alert module 222. The consultation module 228 also interacts with the navigation analysis module 230 as illustrated in the example embodiment of Figure 2.

[0061] For example, an alert data to the healthcare provider may be generated (e.g., using the alert module 222 of Figure 2) .based on noncompliance with a regimen. [0062] Access to the crisis relevant data 310, the archival data 312, and/or the current data 314 may be restricted based on a security algorithm that identifies an operator of the personal communication module 102 as being the user 114 associated with the crisis relevant data 310, the archival data 312, and/or the current data 314. [0063] The security algorithm may be applied using biometric information provided by the operator of the personal communication module 102 (e.g., the user 114). The

biometric information may include an auditory data, a visual data, and/or a tactile data.

[0064] The security algorithm may be devised to comply with a governmental regulation in a jurisdiction in which the personal communication module 102 is presently located.

[0065] A present location of the personal communication module 102 may be automatically determined through a global positioning algorithm (e.g., using a global positioning module 214 as illustrated in Figure 2).

[0066] The security algorithm currently activated on the personal communication module 102 may be automatically selected based on the governmental regulation.

[0067] An acute care guidance data may be provided to the user 114 when a real time response data of a test provided to the user 114 through an external device (e.g., the external device 116 of Figure 1) that wirelessly interfaces with the personal communication module 102 is processed by the personal communication module 102.

[0068] An expense tracking data and/or an insurance coverage data may be provided to the user 114 (e.g., the expense tracking data and/or the insurance coverage data may include a monthly premium data, a deductible data, a co-pay data, a pre-approval data, a coverage data, a group plan data, an affiliate and partner data, a health savings account data and/or a claim filing data).

[0069] An electronic payment technology may be provided directly through the personal communication module 102 through an integrated interface having the

expense tracking data and the insurance coverage data to enable the user to remit payment to a service provider.

[0070] A diet and exercise data may be provided to the user 114 of the personal communication module 102 to enhance wellness of the user of the personal communication module. A trend reporting data may also be provided to the user 114 of the personal communication module 102 based on an analysis of changes to a health data of the user.

[0071] A consultation system may be provided to the user through a treatment workflow provided by a reputed authority and organized based on modules that can be navigable by the user in which a health care provider (e.g., associated with the health care provider modules 106 of Figure 1) is electronically and automatically contacted based on the response of the user to the treatment workflow.

[0072] The consultation system may automatically display certain modules of the treatment workflow in a more quickly accessible location on the personal communication module 102 through an analysis of historical navigation and/or selection data of the user 114.

[0073] A symptom list may be automatically created (e.g., based on an outbreak in a geographic area of a virus, bacteria, epidemic, and/or health alert). In an alternate embodiment, the symptom list may be created manually (e.g., by entities of a department of public health).

[0074] A travel advisory may be provided through the consultation system to the user

114 based on a geographic positioning system in the personal communication module

102 (e.g., the global positioning module 214 of Figure 2).

[0075] A crisis module may have (e.g., may process) an emergency relevant data of a primary user 114 of the personal communication module 102.

[0076] The update module 200 may automatically bring up to date (e.g., synchronize) the emergency relevant data based on a communication with the health vault module

100 having profile information of any number of patients including the primary user

114 of the personal communication module 102. In an alternate embodiment, the personal communication module 102 (e.g., as illustrated in Figure 2) may include a synchronization module to synchronize the emergency relevant data based on a communication with the health vault module 100).

[0077] A routing module 204 (e.g., as illustrated in Figure 2) may automatically communicate the crisis relevant data 310 to a dispatch center and/or a first responder when an emergency situation (e.g., a crisis) is detected by the personal communication module 102.

[0078] For example, the health vault module 100 may provide a diet and exercise data (e.g., using the wellness module of Figure 2) to the user 114 of the personal communication module 102 to enhance wellness of the user 114 of the personal communication module 102, according to one embodiment.

[0079] The health vault module 100 may also provide a trend reporting data (e.g., using the trending module 226 of Figure 2) to the user 114 of the personal communication module 102 based on an analysis of changes to a health data of the user that is voluntarily inputted by the user and/or provided by the health providers to the health vault module 100.

[0080] Figure 3 is an exploded view of the health vault module 100 of Figure 1, according to one embodiment. Particularly, Figure 3 illustrates a reporting administration module 300, a data capture module 302, a middleware module 304, a data organizer module 306, a personal health database 308, a crisis relevant data 310, an archival data 312, a current data 314, an appointment schedule module 316, a legal health data module 318, and a reputed authority module 320, according to one embodiment.

[0081] The reporting administration module 300 may be used to provide summaries and/or consolidated presentation information to the user 114 in a distilled and/or concise form. The data capture module 302 may be used to render and/or harness information from one or more sources, according to one embodiment. The middleware module 304 may provide a translation capability (e.g., of file formats from different doctors, such as through a WebMethods® and/or other XML translation schema) to the health vault module 100 of Figure 3, according to one embodiment. The data organizer module 306 may be used to structure and/or present data to user 114, according to one embodiment. The personal health database 308

may contain information associated with confidential and/or proprietary health related data of the user 114,

[0082] The crisis relevant data 310 may be used to provide information relevant to an emergency scenario (e.g., drug reactions, current health, gender, weight, etc.). The archival data 312 may be dated health information of the user 114 (e.g., older than a threshold value of time such as older than 5 years). The current data 314 may be information relevant to health of the user 114, but seldom required in emergency scenarios. The appointment schedule module 316 may be used to keep organized health care related visits by the user 114 with one or more health care providers (e.g., doctor visits). The legal health data module 318 may be used to display information relevant to a judicial proceeding that may affect the right of the user 114 inter vivos or post vivos (e.g., during life and/or after life such as a will, a trust, a living will, etc.) The reputed authority module 320 may be used to store information about trusted and/or learned sources, of information relevant to health that can be relied upon for advice (e.g., electronic consultation resources) in an emergency and/or nonemergency scenario, according to one embodiment. [0083] In the example embodiment illustrated in Figure 3, the reporting administration module 300 interacts with the healthcare provider modules 106 of Figure 1 as well as the data capture module 302 and the reputed authority module 320 of Figure 3. The data capture module 302 also communicates with the

middleware module 304, the data organizer module 306 and the appointment scheduler module 316, according to the example embodiment illustrated in Figure 3. [0084] The data organizer module 306 communicates with the personal health database 308. The personal health database 308 also interacts with the legal health data module 318. For example, the personal health database 308 may process (e.g., communicate, capture, store, track and/or monitor, etc.) the crisis relevant data 310, the archival data 312 and the current data 314, as illustrated in Figure 3. [0085] A communication of a health aggregation system may be processed to update and/or synchronize the crisis relevant data when the health aggregation system updates a health history data of the user 114 based on a healthcare provider of the user 114 providing a revised health data of the user 114 through at least one middleware conversion layer (e.g., the middleware module 304 of Figure 3). For example, the health aggregation system may include a legal health data of the user such as a healthcare power of attorney, a will, a trust, and other relevant corpus and res data of the user.

[0086] A reminder data may be provided to the user 114 (e.g., using the reminder module 202 of Figure 2) based on an actual use data of a pharmaceutical substance communicated by the user 114 to the personal communication module 102. For example, the reminder data may be again presented after a preset interval when a snooze algorithm is applied to the reminder data (e.g., through a snooze module 224

as illustrated in Figure 2) through a response of the user 114 (e.g., using the personal communication module 102).

[0087] The reminder data may also be provided based on an appointment schedule

(e.g., maintained by the health aggregation system) between a healthcare provider

(e.g., associated with the healthcare provider modules 106 of Figure 1) and the user

114.

[0088] A portion of the health history data of the user may be segmented through the health aggregation system to create the crisis relevant data 310, an archival data 132, and/or a current data 314.

[0089] The user 114 of the personal communication module 102 may access the crisis relevant data 310, the archival data 312, and/or the current data 314 directly through the personal communication module 102 whenever the user 114 communicates a request of the crisis relevant data 310, the archival data 312, and/or the current data

314 to the personal communication module 102.

/ [0090] A recommendation to the user 114 may be revised through the personal communication module 102 based on an automatic analysis of the real time response data. In one embodiment, a transcript of response to the consultation system (e.g., and/or a Short Message Service (SMS) message communicated using a mobile phone and/or the internet) by the user 114 may be automatically provided to the health care provider (e.g., the health care provider associated with the health care provider modules 106 of Figure 1). In an alternate embodiment, the health vault module 100

illustrated in Figure 3 may include a messaging module to process (e.g., capture, analyze, generate, communicate, store and/or track, etc.) Short Message Service (SMS) messages communicated by the user 114 (e.g., using a mobile phone and/or the internet). For example, the messaging module of the health vault module 100 may communicate data and/or meta data associated with any number of Short Message Service communications by the user 114 to the health provider modules 106. [0091] Figure 4 is a table view of a patient profile table 400, according to one embodiment. Particularly, Figure 4 illustrates a provider field 402, a status field 404, a visit field 406, a diagnosis field 408, a prescription field 410, and other field(s) 412, according to one embodiment.

[00130] In operation 1708, through the dispatch center the crisis relevant data (e.g., the crisis relevant data 310, 500 of Figure 3, 5) of the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) may be electronically communicated to a first responder (e.g., the first responder module 112 of Figure 1) without manual reentry (e.g., and/or communication) by the dispatch center (e.g., the dispatch center module 110 of Figure 1, 5). In operation 1710, a communication of a health aggregation system may be processed to update the crisis relevant data (e.g., the crisis relevant data 310, 500 of Figure 3, 5) when the health aggregation system updates a health history data of the user based on a healthcare provider (e.g., the health care provider module 106A-N, 106 of Figure 1, 8) of the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) providing a revised health data of the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) through at least one middleware (e.g., the middleware module 304 of Figure 3, 8) conversion layer. [00131] In operation 1712, a reminder data may be provided to the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) based on an actual use data of a pharmaceutical substance communicated by the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) to the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1- 2), wherein the reminder data may be again presented after a preset interval when a snooze algorithm is applied to the reminder data through a response of the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1).

[00132] Figure 18 is a continuation of the process flow of Figure 17 illustrating additional processes, according to one embodiment. In operation 1802, an interface

to the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) may be provided to reorder the pharmaceutical substance based on at least one of the actual use data, a projected calculation based on an initial input of dosage and pills, and a regimen defined by at least one of the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) and the healthcare provider (e.g., the health care provider module 106A-N, 106 of Figure 1, 8). [00133] In operation 1804, an alert data may be generated to the healthcare provider (e.g., the health care provider module 106A-N, 106 of Figure 1, 8) based on noncompliance with the regimen. In operation 1806, the health aggregation system may be segmented through a portion of the health history data of the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) to create the crisis relevant data (e.g., the crisis relevant data 310, 500 of Figure 3, 5), an archival data (e.g., the archival data 312 of Figure 3), and a current data (e.g., the current data 314 of Figure 3).

[00134] In operation 1808, the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) of the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) may be enabled to access at least one of the crisis relevant data (e.g., the crisis relevant data 310, 500 of Figure 3, 5), the archival data, and the current data directly through the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) whenever the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) communicates a request of at least one of the crisis relevant data (e.g., the crisis relevant data 310, 500 of Figure 3, 5), the archival data 312, and the current data 314

to the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 ofFigure l-2, 8).

[00135] In operation 1810, access to the at least one of the crisis relevant data (e.g., the crisis relevant data 310, 500 of Figure 3, 5), the archival data 312, and the current data 314 may be restricted based on a security algorithm that identifies an operator of the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) as being the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) associated with the at least one of the crisis relevant data (e.g., the crisis relevant data 310, 500 of Figure 3, 5), the archival data 312, and the current data 314.

[00136] In operation 1812, a security algorithm may be devised to comply with at least one governmental regulation in a jurisdiction in which the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) is presently located.

[00137] Figure 19 is a continuation of the process flow of Figure 18 illustrating additional processes, according to one embodiment. In operation 1902, a present location of the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) may be automatically determined through a global positioning algorithm (e.g., the global positioning module 214 of Figure 2). In operation 1904, the security algorithm currently activated on the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) may be automatically selected based on the at least one governmental regulation.

[00138] In operation 1906, an acute care guidance data may be provided to the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) when a real time response data of a test provided to the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) through an external device (e.g., the external device 116 of Figure 1) that wirelessly interfaces with the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) is processed by the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8).

[00139] In operation 1908, a recommendation to the user may be revised through the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) based on an automatic analysis of the real time response data. In operation 1910, an expense tracking data (e.g., the expense tracking module 218 of Figure 2) and an insurance coverage data may be provided to the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) including a monthly premium data, a deductable data, a co-pay data, a pre-approval data, a coverage data, a group plan data, an affiliate and partner data, a health savings account data and a claim filing data. In operation 1912, an electronic payment technology may be provided directly through the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) through an integrated interface having the expense tracking data (e.g., the expense tracking module 218 of Figure 2) and the insurance coverage data to enable the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) to remit payment to a service provider.

In operation 2002, a diet and exercise data may be provided to the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) of the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) to enhance wellness of the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) of the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8). In operation 2004, a trend reporting data may be provided to the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) of the personal communication module (e.g., the personal communication module 102 of Figure 1-2, 8) based on an analysis of changes to a health data of the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1). [00141] In operation 2006, a consultation system may be provided to the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) through a treatment workflow provided by a reputed authority and organized based on module that can be navigable by the user (e.g., the user 114 of Figure 1) in which a health care provider (e.g., the health care provider module 106A-N, 106 of Figure 1, 8) is electronically and automatically contacted based on at least one response of the user (e.g:, the user 114 of Figure 1) to the treatment workflow. ^. , ^{. .}
