Method and apparatus for a self-programmable wireless medical monitoring device

摘要

A self-programmable Medical Monitoring system capable of adapting its monitoring and detection algorithms to each individual patient. The Monitoring device is further capable of uploading new detection algorithms as well as software applications from outside computing devices. Uploaded software applications can configure the Medical Monitoring device for additional applications including but not limited to an ECG, EEG and EMG device. The Monitoring device can operate as stand-alone device or it can communicate wirelessly with one or more outside computing devices.

主权项

1. A portable medical device monitoring system for a patient, the monitoring system comprising:
a. a plurality of electrodes placed on configured for the patient's body for sensing electrical signals; b. a processor to process and digitize the recorded signals, wherein the processor is capable of multi-tasking by simultaneously performing one or more software applications; c. a transceiver for wirelessly transmitting the processed signals to outside computing devices and receiving additional detection algorithms and patient historical recordings; d. a memory further comprised of at least one module, said memory stores the processed signals, stores one or more pre-programmed algorithm software for detecting abnormal activities, stores custom developed algorithms and software applications downloaded from outside computing devices; e. wherein the device contains one or more detection algorithms in its memory; f. wherein the device is re-programmable and loads and performs additional detection algorithms; g. wherein the device is self-programmable and analyzes the patient's recorded activities leading to an abnormal event and optimizes its internal detection algorithms and develops new customized algorithms which is then saved in the Custom Generated Algorithm storage area and activates those newly developed algorithms for continuous monitoring of the said patient; h. wherein the device uploads additional software applications from outside computing devices with which it re-programs itself to configure itself for additional applications and medical monitoring of the patient; and i. wherein the device uploads additional software applications from outside computing devices with which it re-programs itself to configure itself for additional applications and medical monitoring of the patient.
