Filed:

Aug 6, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/913149

Inventors:

Gary Cohen - Sherman Oaks CA, US
Joel Goldsmith - Studio City CA, US
Pam S. Roller - Valencia CA, US
Sanford Widran - Sherman Oaks CA, US
George W. Patterson - Westlake Village CA, US
James R. Daugherty - Northridge CA, US

Assignee:

Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. - Northridge CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600301, 600300, 705 2

Abstract:

Systems and processes for managing data relating to one or more medical or biological conditions of a plurality of subjects (such as patients) over a wide area network, such as the Internet, may be employed for diabetes subjects or subjects with other medical conditions requiring monitoring and/or treatment over time. Such systems and processes provide various functions for several types of users, including patients or subject-users, healthcare provider-users and payor entity-users and combinations thereof, which allow for improved treatment and medical data management of individual subjects and groups of subjects and which allow collection and analysis of aggregate data from many subject sources, for improving overall healthcare practices of providers and subjects (e. g. , patients).

Filed:

Sep 5, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/707649

Inventors:

Josh Riley - Pasadena CA
George Patterson - San Francisco CA

Assignee:

California Institute of Technology - Pasadena CA

International Classification:

G06F 1750
G06F 1900
G01R 3316

US Classification:

39550003

Abstract:

A method for testing electrical connectivity between conductive structures on a chip that is preferably layered with conductive and nonconductive layers. The method includes determining the layer on which each structure is located and defining the perimeter of each structure. Conductive layer connections between each of the layers are determined, and, for each structure, the points of intersection between the perimeter of that structure and the perimeter of each other structure on the chip are also determined. Finally, electrical connections between the structures are determined using the points of intersection and the conductive layer connections.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
A61M 5/142
A61M 5/172
G06F 19/00

Abstract:

A variable data usage personal medical system including a self-care device attached to a patient, and operable to generate self-care device data and to transmit the self-care device data at a fixed interval; a cellular communication device operable to receive and store the transmitted self-care device data, to register a count at an interval counter for each of the fixed intervals in which the transmitted self-care device data is received, to generate a data cellular packet from overhead plus the stored self-care device data when the interval counter equals a fixed interval index, and to transmit the data packet; and a cloud infrastructure operably connected to the cellular communication device over a cellular network, and operable to receive, process, and store the transmitted data packet. The cloud infrastructure is operable to transmit a value for the fixed interval index to the cellular communication device for storage.
