Patent ID: 7552101

Claim:
A health monitoring system implementing a medical diagnosis, said system making it possible for users, in particular doctors, to remotely monitor patients, in particular patients maintained in the home, said system including: a data server connected to a communications network, in particular of the Internet type; a first man-machine interface, in particular installed in computing equipment, connected to said data server via said communications network, said first man-machine interface being implemented by the users to: select and/or input, in said data server, medical data, in particular of the “vomiting” type; input and index health actions, in particular of the “hospitalisation” type, corresponding to said medical data; configure, using said selected medical data, the monitoring rules, presented in particular in the form of SQL queries of the “if symptoms=vomiting and temperature>38.5° C., observation period=24h health action=check urine” type, said monitoring rules being recorded and indexed with said health actions in said data server; and input and send alert protocols to said data server, in particular information relative to the contact information of the person to inform in the event that a realised health action would be different from the corresponding monitoring rule; means of analysis for analyzing the compatibility of said protocols thus sent, in particular the compatibility over time between the new monitoring rules and the former monitoring rules; a distant terminal, located with said patients, in particular with said patients that are maintained in the home; said distant terminal being connected to sensors, in particular to medical measuring devices, providing medical data to said distant terminal, and/or said distant terminal receiving said medical data from said users and/or said patients via a second man-machine interface of said distant terminal; and means of programming in order to program automatisms in said distant terminal, from said data server via said communications network, said automatisms being programmed using said medical data and said health actions indexed in said data server; said distant terminal including means for activating said automatisms thus programmed in order to: apply, periodically, said monitoring rules to said medical data provided to said distant terminal by generating health actions to be executed, check the execution, by said users, of said health actions, and generate alerts in the event said health actions are not executed by said users; wherein the system makes it possible to compile a personalised diagnosis base for each patient and to generate the triggering of appropriate alerts.
