REMOTE HEALTHCARE DATA-GATHERING AND VIEWING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A medical data collection system for gathering medical data from an individual when the individual is located remotely from a healthcare professional includes at least in part an aggregation device is used at the patient remote site for collecting medical data/information from various medical devices. The aggregation device sends the recorded medical data using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) web service/application to a network. A video conference system is also located at the remote site. A healthcare provider can access the medical data in real time or from the optional data storage device while the data is being captured from the patient at any time in the future if the data is stored using a personal computer or handheld device such as a notebook, Ipad, smart phone or the like that is capable of running a browser that can consume the medical record service provided by the aggregation device.
