Abstract

Described herein are software platforms (or “platforms”), systems, devices, and methods for providing effective healthcare to a patient while increasing the efficiency of the healthcare provider. A platform provides effective healthcare to a patient through, but not limited to, monitoring of the physical parameters and therapeutic objectives of the patient. In addition, a platform is further configured to provide a communication link between a patient and a healthcare provider. The platform may be implemented by a system comprising one or more computing devices that interact with or run one or more applications of the platform.

Claims (49)

1. A system comprising:

a sensor configured to:

sense one or more physiological parameters of a user and generate physiological data based on the sensed one or more physiological parameters of the user; and

transmit the physiological data;

a first computing device configured to:

receive the physiological data from the sensor;

provide a first interface to display the physiological data; and

transmit the physiological data; and

a second computing device configured to:

receive the physiological data from the first computing device;

analyze the physiological data;

generate, based on the analysis, a healthcare provider communication comprising results of the analysis of the physiological data; and

transmit the healthcare provider communication to the first computing device, wherein the first computing device and the second computing device include a patient module and a healthcare provider module respectively which form a software platform via which the physiological data and the healthcare provider communication are exchanged.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the healthcare provider application comprises a database including physiological data sensed from a plurality of users and wherein to analyze the physiological data, the second computing device is configured to generate a risk score for the user based on the physiological data and the physiological data sensed from the plurality of users.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first computing device is further to:

receive the healthcare provider communication; and

provide a second interface to display the healthcare provider communication.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first computing device is further to:

provide a second interface to initiate measurement of the physiological parameter; and

in response to receiving via the second interface, an indication that the user wishes to initiate measurement of the physiological parameter, transmit an instruction to the sensor to initiate measurement of the physiological parameter.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the second interface comprises an interactable representation of each of a plurality of physiological parameters, and wherein to receive the indication, the first computing device is to detect an interaction with one of the plurality of interactable representations.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the instruction indicates the physiological parameter as a physiological parameter corresponding to the one of the plurality of interactable representations.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first computing device is further to:

in response to receiving via the second interface, an indication that the user wishes to initiate measurement of the physiological parameter, provide a third interface that displays instructions for attaching the sensor to a body of the user.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the physiological parameter comprises an electrocardiogram (EKG) of the user.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the physiological parameter comprises a resting heart rate of the user.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is configured to operably couple with the first computing device.

11. A method comprising:

sensing, via a sensor, one or more physiological parameters of a user and generating physiological data based on the sensed one or more physiological parameters of the user;

transmitting the physiological data to a first computing device;

providing, via the first computing device, a first interface to display the physiological data;

transmitting the physiological data to a second computing device;

analyzing, by the second computing device, the physiological data;

generating, based on the analysis, a healthcare provider communication comprising results of the analysis of the physiological data; and

transmitting the healthcare provider communication to the first computing device, wherein the first computing device and the second computing device include a patient module and a healthcare provider module respectively which form a software platform via which the physiological data and the healthcare provider communication are exchanged.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the healthcare provider application comprises a database including physiological data sensed from a plurality of users and wherein analyzing the physiological comprises generating a risk score for the user based on the physiological data and the physiological data sensed from the plurality of users.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

Receiving at the first computing device, the healthcare provider communication; and

providing a second interface to display the healthcare provider communication.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

providing a second interface to initiate measurement of the physiological parameter; and

in response to receiving via the second interface, an indication that the user wishes to initiate measurement of the physiological parameter, transmitting an instruction to the sensor to initiate measurement of the physiological parameter.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the second interface comprises an interactable representation of each of a plurality of physiological parameters, and wherein receiving the indication comprises detecting an interaction with one of the plurality of interactable representations.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the instruction indicates the physiological parameter as a physiological parameter corresponding to the one of the plurality of interactable representations.

17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

in response to receiving via the second interface, an indication that the user wishes to initiate measurement of the physiological parameter, providing a third interface that displays instructions for attaching the sensor to a body of the user.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the physiological parameter comprises an electrocardiogram (EKG) of the user.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the physiological parameter comprises a resting heart rate of the user.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sensor is configured to operably couple with the first computing device.
