Abstract:
A Web-object computer system hardware and software architecture for real-time human body physiology modeling and medical record-keeping named the Clinical, Heuristic, Administrative, Research & Teaching (CHART) System, which is an application of the following industry-standard information technology hardware components, object-oriented programming (OOP) scripts, OOP class and interface definitions and object-oriented user interfaces (OOUIs), the broad, physiologically comprehensive scope of which and real-time interoperability throughout are unique to the instant application:a) a client system (i.e.--any personal computer (PC) configured for multi-media support and Internet access) to be used for:i) access to the System Web site,ii) input of data describing site-/route-specific introduction/administration of foreign substances,iii) multi-media display of information describing the biochemical, physiological and anatomical state(s) of the human body at specific site(s), andiv) access to related Internet sites as/if required;b) a Web server system array (i.e.--two or more dynamically allocated Internet-accessible computer systems, the configuration of which is typified by that provided maintained at an Internet service provider (ISP) ""server farm""), including:i) a hardware and software platform for operation of the CHART System Web site,ii) management on intercommunicating random access data storage device(s) (e.g.--a ""RAID"") of the CHART System software (i.e.--the chartSystem Package of object classes, the OOP language virtual machine, integrated development environment (IDE) with which the CHART System is maintained and modified, and instantiations of the humanBody and the medicalRecord abstract classes as created and maintained by CHART System users),iii) management of multiple, concurrent CHART System user activities including secure sign-on, and download and operation of the CHART System OOUIs to the user-operated client system(s),iv) operation of the CHART System software and/or control of the distributed operation of CHART System software on other Internet-accessible servers:a) to process input to the selected instantiations of the humanBody and/or medicalRecord classes,b) to display the biochemical and physiological behaviors and states of the user-selected site(s) of the target class instantiation(s),c) to update selected instantiation(s) of the humanBody and medicalRecord classes, per user direction, andd) to launch browser software for automatic or user-directed access to selected Internet sites not a part of the instant application but useful for further anatomic and/or physiological demonstration of CHART System class instance output.
