FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to medical monitoring and, more particularly, to medical monitoring with end-user participation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Traditionally, a person schedules an appointment with a medical provider (e.g., a doctor), and then visits the medical provider on the scheduled time. During the appointment, the medical provider can perform a health or wellness check-up for the person. In some instances, the person might be due for a diabetes checkup, a hearing checkup, etc. In other instances, the person may be interested in particular medical conditions. For example, the person might have a skin discoloration that would like to have check to see if it is skin cancer. Unfortunately, for all these checkups and medical evaluations, the person must visit the medical provider's office which is time consuming and inconvenient for the person. Moreover, medical providers typically charge patients per office visit so the cost to the person or their insurance company is significant. Accordingly, there continues to be a need for improved approaches for persons to have their health and wellness monitored.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention pertains to a medical monitoring system. The medical monitoring system facilitates end-users in obtaining medical information concerning their health or wellness. In one embodiment, an end-user is provided with a medical monitoring appliance. In another embodiment, an end-user acquires an appropriate medical monitoring appliance. The end-user can utilize the medical monitoring appliance to capture health data concerning the end-user. The health data can be electronically stored at a central repository and be available for electronic access by medical personnel and/or the end-user. The invention also facilitates remote evaluation of an end-user's health data by another person, such as a medical specialist.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention pertains to a medical monitoring system. The medical monitoring system facilitates end-users in obtaining medical information concerning their health or wellness. In one embodiment, an end-user is provided with a medical monitoring appliance. In another embodiment, an end-user acquires an appropriate medical monitoring appliance. The end-user can utilize the medical monitoring appliance to capture health data concerning the end-user. The health data can be electronically stored at a central repository and be available for electronic access by medical personnel and/or the end-user. The invention also facilitates remote evaluation of an end-user's health data by another person, such as a medical specialist.
In one embodiment, the distributed health and wellness system 100 includes a health and data processing and management facility 102. The health data processing and management facility 102 controls the overall operation of the distributed health and wellness system 100. In particular, the health data processing and management facility 102 is able to interact with a plurality of end-users 104. An end-user 104 is a person whose health or wellness is being monitored by the distributed health and wellness system 100. Through interaction with the end-users 104, the health data processing and management facility 102 operates to acquire health and wellness data (hereafter �health data�) from the end-users 104. The acquired health data can be stored and managed by the health data processing and management facility 102. In addition, health-care providers 106 can be permitted to access the health data processing and management facility 102. Hence, the health data processing and management facility 102 facilitates the health care providers 106 in gaining access to the health data stored and maintained by the health data processing and management facility 102. Moreover, medical representatives 108 can interact with the health data processing and management facility 102. The medical representatives 108 can be trained medical professionals, nurses, medical technicians, etc. The medical representatives 108 can also gain access to the health data stored and maintained by the health data processing and management facility 102. The medical representatives 108 can be associated with, or independent of, the health-care providers 106.
