Abstract

A system for is provided for using telemetry data based on patient habit information or patient monitoring. One or more patient monitoring devices has a unique patient ID. The one or more monitoring devices acquire patient information selected from of at least one of, a patient's activities, behaviors and habit information, and patient monitoring. ID circuitry is at the patient monitoring device. The ID circuitry includes ID storage, a communication system that reads and transmits the unique ID from an ID storage, a power source and a pathway system to route signals through the circuitry. An alarm is at the patient monitoring device that provides an alert only when the patient is in a wake-state. A telemetry system is in communication with the patient monitoring device. The telemetry system includes a database of patient ID's.

Claims (22)

1. A system for using telemetry data relative to individual sleep information and sleep behavior information of an individual, comprising:

a monitoring device that includes a microphone, a transmitter and at least two sensors, the at least two sensors selected from at least sensors that in combination determine: air quality, sound level/quality, light quality, and ambient temperature near the individual;

an accelerometer or other movement detecting device configured to detect a movement information for the individual relative to the individual sleep information and the sleep behavior information of the individual, wherein the accelerometer, or the other movement detecting device, and the monitoring device are configured to assist in determining the individual sleep information and the sleep behavior information, and a recording by the at least sensors being disabled in response to the detection of the movement information for the individual by the accelerometer or the other movement detecting device;

an alarm at the monitoring device or the accelerometer or the other movement detecting device that in operation only provides an alert corresponding to a detected sleep parameter of the individual with respect to the movement information detected for the individual; and

a telemetry system in communication with the monitoring device, the telemetry system including a database of identifiers.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein an awake status of the individual is determined by the monitoring device, the accelerometer or the other movement detecting device and the telemetry system.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm is selected from a group consisting of visual, motion, audio, and vibratory alarms.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a visual display at the monitoring device.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the visual display is a touch screen display.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring device further includes a processor.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a control system at the monitoring device to orchestrate communication between different systems.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a noise reduction element at the monitoring device to reduce signal noise.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein conditioning electronics clean a signal for processing by a central processing unit (CPU) of the telemetry system.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the CPU evaluates historical data.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the telemetry system in operation creates different classifications for data received from the monitoring device.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the telemetry system in operation provides firmware updates to the monitoring device.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein streams of information are sent from at least one sensor at the monitoring device to the telemetry system.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the streams of information are capable of including both encrypted information and non-encrypted information.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the streams of information are sent from the monitoring device to a mobile device or a computer.
