Patent ID: 8583728

Claim:
A system for healthcare diagnostic applications comprising: a computing device including memory and a processor that, when executing instructions stored on the memory, creates: a client-side framework defining elements for use by platform client applications; a composite application framework supporting extensible modules, the composite application framework supporting construction of composite applications in which functionality is implemented by a container application which hosts plug-in modules to support specific diagnostic functions; a plug-in module extending platform applications; a composite application combining base application code with plug-in modules to support a set of clinical functions; a domain-specific framework for defined clinical measurement domains, wherein the domain-specific framework shares certain common code and resources with other modules and contain domain-specific expandable sets of sensor measurement plug-ins which obtain physiologic data of a type covered by a domain; and the plug-in module provides an interface implementation with methods to serialize and de-serialize the measurement-derived class, and a schema which describes the measurement's serialized form which can be used by a server to efficiently store and search within measurement data.
