Appl. No.:

10/856625

Inventors:

Michael McGee - Wenham MA, US

Abstract:

A system and apparatus for monitoring self-care behavior and health status, for prompting patient self-care events such as taking medications, and for reporting self-care behavior and health status to the patient's caregivers and concerned others. The system (Self-Care Optimization System, or SOS) uses a remote data collection/messaging device (SOS device) that communicates with the SOS. The SOS monitors and promotes positive self-care behavior and collects health status data, such as blood sugar levels, blood pressure, weights, blood oxygenation levels, etc. for transmission to the SOS. The SOS prompts patients to perform self-care tasks by telephone, email, page, fax, or by sending alert messages to the SOS device. The SOS notifies medical professionals, caregivers, and/or concerned others when a pre-programmed self-care event occurs or has not occurred, of abnormal health status values such as high blood pressures, and of emergency requests for assistance made by patients pressing a “help alert” button on the SOS device.

Abstract:

An apparatus and method is provided for translating addresses and rerouting them to preferably one of at least two destinations. This is accomplished through the use of a memory unit and a combination of logic operation units that essentially operate as a look-up translation table configurable by software. The apparatus includes an input to receive an address of a certain length and a memory unit that is adapted to receive a portion of the input address and output another address of a predetermined length which is mapped to the input. The method includes receiving input addresses of a certain length and performing an operation on a portion of the input address to determine its destination.
