Home medical surveillance system

摘要: Many subscriber patients are served by this system. In each patient's home is an apparatus that includes special furniture on which the patient lies and sits, embedded in devices automatically sense multiple parameters related to health. The cooperates only passively. so chosen--and sufficiently numerous accurate--as provide aggregate a comprehensive profile of general state also generates electronic health-parameter signals sensed parameters, it transmits these from central surveillance control office. Equipment there receives signals, displays corresponding indicia back apparatus. Two-way voice communication between highly trained observer at office supplements measurements. conducts routine diagnostic sessions except when emergency noted or patient-initiated communication. determines whether nonroutine therapeutic response required, if facilitates such response. Selection among cases follows refined emergency-priority hierarchy.
