The monitoring device incorporates transducing devices for converting the desired measured parameters into electrical signals capable of being processed by a local computer or microprocessor system. The device interacts with the ambulatory patient and then, via a modem or other electronic communication device, transmits the measured parameters to a computer located at a remote site. At the remote location. the various indicia of the ambulatory patient's condition are monitored and analyzed by the medical professional caregiver. To provide the ambulatory patient with an added level of convenience and ease of use, such monitoring device is contained in a single integrated package.

Apparatus and method for monitoring and communicating wellness parameters of ambulatory patients

A modular card issuance system comprises a plurality of sequentially ordered modules configured such that each module is in electrical communication with its adjacent modules. This system also comprises a main controller that is in electrical communication with each of the modules. Upon power-up of the system and without assistance from the main controller, each module determines its own identity, its relative position among the plurality of modules and the total number of modules in the system. This information is then reported to the main controller upon request from the main controller.

Modular card issuance system and method of operation

The monitoring device incorporates transducing devices for converting the desired measured parameters into electrical signals capable of being processed by a local computer or microprocessor system. The device receives a set of customized questions for presentation to an ambulatory patient. The device interacts with the ambulatory patient and then, via a modem or other electronic communication device, transmits the measured parameters and answers to the customized questions to a computer located at a remote site. At the remote location, the various indicia of the ambulatory patient's condition are monitored and analyzed by the medical professional caregiver. To provide the ambulatory patient with an added level of convenience and ease of use, such monitoring device is contained in a single integrated package.

A medical system, apparatus and method for monitoring and managing one or more ambulatory patients on a computer and allowing a caregiver to review the ambulatory patients' wellness parameters to provide treatment in accordance with the wellness parameters. The system, apparatus and method provides a patient monitoring apparatus having a first communication device associated therewith for monitoring a patient's wellness parameters. A central computer located remote from the monitoring apparatus and in communication therewith, the central computer having a second communication device associated therewith for communicating wellness parameters and treatment data over a communications link established between the central computer and the monitoring apparatus, the central computer being operated for querying the patient via the patient monitoring apparatus, receiving and processing measured wellness parameters from the monitoring apparatus and calculating a score according to the wellness parameters. A main database coupled to the central computer having patient medical records stored therein. One or more computer workstations located remote from the central computer and in communication therewith, the one or more computers having a third communication device associated therewith for communicating physical examination data between the central computer and the one or more workstations over a communication link established therebetween. The score calculated by the central computer according to the wellness parameters is compared with a predetermined value, and based on the results of the comparison the central computer issuing an exception report and communicating the exception report to the one or more workstations located remote therefrom, whereby a caregiver located at the remote workstation site is notified of the exception report.

Standardized card processing modules are mechanically and electrically interconnected to form an application specific card personalization machine. A controller is coupled to a communication bus which permits the controller to download card data to the card processing modules and to upload status information from the card processing modules. Each one of the card processing modules performs a different encoding or personalization function under the control of a local processor.

Modular card processing system

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dynamically assigning addresses and determining the configuration of a plurality of programmable function modules connected to an electrical conductor, such as a serial bus. The programmable function modules are electrically interconnected by a control line in a point-to-point connection between one another. A programmable controller will first transmit an enabling signal on the control line and then will transmit predetermined addressing information on the serial bus. The first function module will then access the serial bus and retrieve the addressing information, assign itself a unique address as determined by the addressing information, modify the addressing information in a predetermined manner, return the modified addressing information to the serial bus, and enable the adjacent function module on the control line. Each function module connected to the serial bus will be assigned an address in a similar fashion. The programmable controller will receive the modified address information from the final function module and will thereby know the number of function modules, the connection sequence of the function modules, and the address of each function module.
