Patent ID: 7311665

Claim:
A system for continuous passive monitoring of bio-information of a human subject comprising: a bio-information unit adapted to be attached to the human subject, wherein said bio-information unit takes a plurality of bio-sensor readings at predetermined time intervals according to a first schedule stored in a first memory in said bio-information unit without active participation by the human subject, wherein said plurality of bio-sensor readings are stored in said first memory; a bio-information modem in communication with said bio-information unit, wherein said plurality of bio-sensor readings stored in said first memory are communicated from said bio-information unit to said bio-information modem at predetermined time intervals according to said first schedule through radio frequency signals without active participation by the human subject, wherein said plurality of bio-sensor readings are stored in a second memory in said bio-information modem; a bio-information network in communication with said bio-information modem, wherein said plurality of bio-sensor readings stored in said second memory are communicated from said bio-information modem to said bio-information network at predetermined time intervals according to a second schedule stored in said second memory through a first communication link without active participation by the human subject, and further wherein said bio-information network analyzes said plurality of bio-sensor readings to determine if an alert condition exists; and a treatment provider facility in communication with said bio-information network, wherein said bio-information network communicates an alert to said treatment provider facility through a second communication link when said alert condition exists.
