Care plan administration: patient feedback
Techniques for administering a care plan for a patient. A monitoring device is selected, at a care plan management system based on a care plan, to use in administering the care plan. The care plan specifies biometric data to monitor for a patient. The monitoring device is configured to collect the biometric data, based on the care plan. The biometric data collected using the monitoring device is received at the care plan management system. The biometric data includes a first event initially classified as a first type of event using the monitoring device. The first event is selected for reclassification, based on the initial classification, and in response the first event is reclassified as a second type of event using the care plan management system. The patient is treated based on the care plan and the reclassified first event.
1. A method comprising:
selecting a care plan for collecting electrocardiogram (ECG) data of a patient, wherein a sensor device is used to collect the ECG data;
identifying, by a mobile device or the sensor device, a cardiac event of the patient based on the ECG data;
classifying, by the mobile device or the sensor device, the cardiac event as a first type of cardiac event and associating the first type of cardiac event with the ECG data as metadata;
receiving, at a server, the ECG data collected using the sensor device as well as the metadata, wherein the mobile device and the sensor device have fewer computational resources relative to the server;
reclassifying, using the server and based on the ECG data, the cardiac event from the first type of cardiac event to a second type of cardiac event that is different than the first type of cardiac event; and
treating the patient after the reclassifying.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
after the identifying the cardiac event, transmitting a batch of ECG data associated with the event to the server.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the batch of ECG data includes ECG data from a predetermined length of time before and after the event.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second type of cardiac event is a subclassification of the first type of cardiac event.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second type of cardiac event is a non-event.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
periodically transmitting the ECG data from the sensor device to the mobile device.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the ECG data is transmitted to the mobile device using a Bluetooth communication link.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
transmitting the ECG to the server from the mobile device to the server.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the ECG data is transmitted from the mobile device to the server using a communications network.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the communications network is the internet.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a mobile phone.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device includes a user interface for receiving input from the patient, the method further comprising:
receiving one or more symptoms from the patient via the user interface; and
transmitting the one or more symptoms to the server.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reclassifying is more computationally expensive than the classifying.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the classifying is performed only by the sensor device.
15. A system comprising:
a sensor device configured to collect electrocardiogram (ECG) data of a patient according to a treatment plan;
a mobile device, wherein the sensor device or the mobile device is programmed to (1) identify a cardiac event of the patient based on the ECG data, (2) classify the cardiac event as a first type of event, and (3) associate the first type of cardiac event with the ECG data as metadata; and
a server comprising a processor and memory storing a program, which, when executed by the processor, causes the server to perform an operation, the operation comprising:
reclassifying, based on the ECG data, the cardiac event from the first type of cardiac event to a second type of cardiac event that is different than the first type of cardiac event,
wherein the mobile device and the sensor device have fewer computational resources relative to the server.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the mobile device is programmed to transmit a batch of ECG data associated with the cardiac event to the server.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the batch of ECG data includes ECG data from a predetermined length of time before and after the event.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the reclassifying is more computationally expensive than the initial classification of the cardiac event.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the second type of cardiac event is a subclassification of the first type of cardiac event.
