Apparatus and System for Predictive Health Monitoring

摘要

An apparatus and system are provided for monitoring an individual, a group or a community of individuals for respiratory infections. Predictive health data, such as waking peak expiratory flow rate (“WPF”) and basal metabolic temperature (“BMT”) are measured and charted to provide an indication of early stage respiratory infection. Data may be collected for target populations and reported to health agencies for use in combating the spread of infection. An apparatus is provided which can simultaneously measure WPF and BMT and other health-condition-related values and automatically transmit readings to a data collection and analysis program on a remote computer.

主权项

1. A chart for graphing Basal Metabolic Temperature for use in early identification of infections, the chart comprising two or more visually distinct horizontal bands with a transverse direction of the bands corresponding to increments of temperature and a longitudinal direction of the bands corresponding to an increments of time, one of said visually distinct horizontal bands having a width corresponding to a normal range for basal metabolic temperature and at least one other horizontal band corresponding to an abnormally elevated range for basal metabolic temperature.
