Abstract

A portable device for projecting medical data of a patient, including a housing, wireless technology that allows the exchange of data between different electronic devices, a projector that can project a light beam image of the data received from the wireless technology onto a desired surface away from the housing, and a coupler that couples the projector to the housing and enables the projector to tilt and/or swivel and/or rotate so that the location of the projected light beam image can be changed, e.g., to display on a ceiling or desired wall. The medical data projected can be glucose level data. The apparatus enables a person to easily obtain information on their glucose levels when they wake at night without having to access an electronic device to obtain the information.

Claims (31)

1 . A system for projecting medical data of a patient comprising:

a) a first projection device that is a first receiver having a first housing, the first projection device able to receive data;

b) a second projection device that is a second receiver having a second housing, the second projection device also able to receive the data;

c) a first transmitter device that can receive the data and send the data to the first projection device, and a second transmitter device that can send the data to the second projection device;

d) the first transmitter device able to continuously and automatically send the data to the first projection device and able to continuously and automatically receive the data from a medical device;

e) the second projection device able to receive the data from the second transmitter when the first transmitter receives the data from the medical device;

f) the second transmitter device able to continuously and automatically send the data to the second projection device;

g) a first projector coupled to the first housing that projects a first light beam image of the data received by the first projection device onto a first desired surface that is spaced away from the first housing;

h) a second projector coupled to the second housing that projects a second light beam image of the data received by the second projection device onto a second desired surface that is spaced away from the second housing and in a different location from the first desired surface;

i) a first coupler that couples the first projector to the first housing;

j) a second coupler that couples the second projector to the second housing; and

k) wherein the first light beam image of the data and the second light beam image of the data are each continuously and automatically updated to be most recent data from the medical device.

2 . The system of claim 1 wherein the first projection device and the second projection device, are each able to continuously and automatically update the first light beam image and the second light beam image of the data.

3 . The system of claim 2 wherein the second projection device and the first projection device are in different rooms of the same building and the first light beam image and the second light beam image are the same.

4 . The system of claim 2 wherein the second projection device and the first projection device are in different cities and the first light beam image and the second light beam image are the same.

5 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a third projection device that is also able to receive the data and to continuously and automatically update a third light beam image of the data.

6 . The system of claim 5 wherein the third projection device, the second projection device, and the first projection device are in different rooms of the same building and the first light beam image, the second light beam image, and the third light beam image are the same.

7 . The system of claim 5 wherein at least one of the third projection device, the second projection device, and the first projection device is in a different building from another said device.

8 . The system of claim 5 wherein at least one of the third projection device, the second projection device, and the first projection device is in a different city from another said device.

9 . The system of claim 1 wherein the first coupler enables the first projector to move so that a location of the first light beam image can be changed.

10 . The system of claim 1 wherein the second coupler enables the second projector to move so that a location of the second light beam image can be changed.

11 . The system of claim 9 wherein the second coupler enables the second projector to move so that a second location of the second light beam image can be changed.

12 . The system of claim 1 wherein the first coupler enables the first projector to tilt and/or swivel and/or rotate so that a location of the first light beam image can be changed.

13 . The system of claim 1 wherein the data includes glucose level data.

14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first projection device and/or the second projection device further comprises an alarm that is emitted if the data received by the first projection device and/or the second projection device, respectively, is not within a desired range.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the first projection device and/or the second projection device further comprises an alert that is emitted when new data is received by the first projection device and/or the second projection device, respectively.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the alert is different from the alarm.

17 . The system of claim 1 wherein the first projection device and/or the second projection device is portable and sized to enable packing the first projection device and/or the second projection device, respectively, while traveling.

18 . The system of claim 1 wherein the first projection device and/or the second projection device includes a screen to also display the data and/or other desired information.

19 . The system of claim 1 wherein the first projection device and/or the second projection device includes a screen to also display the data and time.

20 . The system of claim 1 wherein the first transmitter device is a smart phone or tablet.
