Abstract

BioMEMS/NEMS appliance biologically monitors an individual, using biosensors to detect cellular components. Data is simulated or analyzed using systems-biology software, which provides diagnostic or therapeutic guidance.

Claims (5)

1. A wirelessly-networked automated telemedicine apparatus computationally integrating HIV-based simulation and bio-sensing platforms for diagnosing an infectious disease or infection comprising:

a biosensor platform comprising a multi-functional array using one or more virus vector sensor coupled to a host bloodstream that detects homolog or mutation associated with human immunodeficiency virus or virus RNA;

an automated systems-biology platform comprising a controller integrated functionally with the biosensor platform using a software-implemented simulator program that computationally models the host systems-biology using the homolog or mutation detected by the bio sensor platform to verify or diagnose HIV-associated infection or infectious disease; and

a user interface coupled to access the bio-sensor and systems-biology platforms remotely via wireless communication network, thereby enabling diagnostic telemedicine service.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the host comprises a transplanted organ.
