System and method for providing voice feedback for automated remote patient care

Abstract

A system for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care is presented. A medical device having a sensor for monitoring physiological measures of an individual patient regularly records a set of measures. A remote client processes voice feedback into a set of quality of life measures relating to patient self-assessment indicators. A database collects the collected measures set, the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set into a patient care record for the individual patient. A server periodically receives the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set from the medical device, and analyzes the identified collected device measures set, the quality of life measures set, and the collected device measures sets in the patient care record relative to other collected device measures sets stored in the database to determine a patient status indicator.

1 . A system for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care, comprising: 
 a medical device regularly recording a set of measures by a medical device having a sensor for monitoring at least one physiological measure of an individual patient, the collected measures set comprising individual measures which each relate to patient information recorded by the medical device;    a remote client processing voice feedback into a set of quality of life measures which each relate to patient self-assessment indicators, the voice feedback having been spoken by the individual patient into a remote client substantially contemporaneous to the collection of an identifiable device measures set;    a database collecting the set of measures from the medical device by storing the collected measures set, the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set into a patient care record for the individual patient within a database organized to store one or more patient care records which each comprise a plurality of the collected measures sets, the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set; and    a server periodically receiving the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set from the medical device, and analyzing the identified collected device measures set, the quality of life measures set, and one or more of the collected device measures sets in the patient care record for the individual patient relative to one or more other collected device measures sets stored in the database to determine a patient status indicator.
