Abstract

A method of presenting data from a remote sensor that is monitoring a subject includes obtaining a data stream from the remote sensor, wherein the data stream includes a sensor metric, a metric identifier, dynamically updated integrity information about an accuracy of the sensor metric, and a diagnostic assessment of a health condition of the subject, and then displaying, via a display associated with the client device, the diagnostic assessment of the health condition of the subject, a metric statistic associated with the diagnostic assessment, and a recommendation as to an action to be taken by the subject.

Claims (41)

1. A method of presenting data from a remote sensor that is monitoring a subject, the method comprising the following performed by a client device:

obtaining a data stream from the remote sensor, wherein the data stream comprises a sensor metric, a metric identifier, dynamically updated integrity information about an accuracy of the sensor metric, and a diagnostic assessment of a health condition of the subject; and

displaying, via a display associated with the client device, the diagnostic assessment of the health condition of the subject, at least one metric statistic associated with the diagnostic assessment, and a recommendation as to an action to be taken by the subject.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one metric statistic comprises one or more of the following: accuracy of the remote sensor, false positive rate of the remote sensor, and false negative rate of the remote sensor.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recommended action to be taken by the subject is to obtain additional sensor metrics from the remote sensor.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising displaying, via the display associated with the client device, a second recommendation as to an additional action to be taken by the subject after the additional sensor metrics are obtained from the remote sensor.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the health condition is arrhythmia.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recommendation is included in the data stream from the remote sensor.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recommendation is generated by a processor associated with the client device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data stream is obtained wirelessly from the remote sensor.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the client device is a mobile communication device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remote sensor is a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor or a blood pressure sensor.

11. A client device, comprising:

a display; and

at least one processor configured to:

obtain a data stream from a remote sensor, wherein the remote sensor is a physiological sensor monitoring a subject, wherein the data stream comprises a sensor metric, a metric identifier, dynamically updated integrity information about an accuracy of the sensor metric, and a diagnostic assessment of a health condition of the subject; and

display, via the display, the diagnostic assessment of the health condition of the subject, at least one metric statistic associated with the diagnostic assessment, and a recommendation as to an action to be taken by the subject.

12. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one metric statistic comprises one or more of the following: accuracy of the remote sensor, false positive rate of the remote sensor, and false negative rate of the remote sensor.

13. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the recommended action to be taken by the subject is to obtain additional sensor metrics from the remote sensor.

14. The client device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to display, via the display, a second recommendation as to an additional action to be taken by the subject after the additional sensor metrics are obtained from the remote sensor.

15. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the health condition is arrhythmia.

16. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the recommendation is included in the data stream from the remote sensor.

17. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the recommendation is generated by the at least one processor.

18. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor obtains the data stream wirelessly from the remote sensor.

19. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the client device is a mobile communication device.

20. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the remote sensor is a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor or a blood pressure sensor.

21. A system, comprising:

a remote physiological sensor configured to monitor a subject; and

a client device, comprising:

a display; and

at least one processor configured to:

obtain a data stream from the remote physiological sensor as the remote physiological sensor monitors the subject, wherein the data stream comprises a sensor metric, a metric identifier, dynamically updated integrity information about an accuracy of the sensor metric, and a diagnostic assessment of a health condition of the subject; and

display, via the display, the diagnostic assessment of the health condition of the subject, at least one metric statistic associated with the diagnostic assessment, and a recommendation as to an action to be taken by the subject.

22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the at least one metric statistic comprises one or more of the following: accuracy of the remote physiological sensor, false positive rate of the remote physiological sensor, and false negative rate of the remote physiological sensor.

23. The system of claim 21 , wherein the recommended action to be taken by the subject is to obtain additional sensor metrics from the remote sensor.

24. The system of claim 23 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to display, via the display, a second recommendation as to an additional action to be taken by the subject after the additional sensor metrics are obtained from the remote sensor.

25. The system of claim 21 , wherein the health condition is arrhythmia.

26. The system of claim 21 , wherein the recommendation is included in the data stream from the remote sensor.

27. The system of claim 21 , wherein the recommendation is generated by the at least one processor.

28. The system of claim 21 , wherein the at least one processor obtains the data stream wirelessly from the remote physiological sensor.

29. The system of claim 21 , wherein the client device is a mobile communication device, and wherein the remote physiological sensor is a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor or a blood pressure sensor.
