Physical parameter monitoring process - for e.g. glucose or gas level with storage and evaluation in two phases carried out by two users e.g. prim. measurement by diabetic, and sec. monitoring by medical staff

摘要

(A) A physical parameter monitoring process involves (a) parameter value collection phases, in which a primary user uses a pocket electronic unit (4) for value measurement and storage; and (b) stored value evaluation phases, in which a data processor is used for visualisation of value changes. The evaluation phases are carried out by the primary user by means of a personal data processor in the form of a compact housing (22); and in the investigation phases the primary user takes the compact housing to a secondary user to allow one or more operations by the secondary user. USE/ADVANTAGE - The process is useful for monitoring human physiological parametrs such as blood glucose levels, blood pressure or alcohol content in the breath, the primary user being e.g. a patient and the secondary user being e.g. a doctor. The monitoring process is improved since the main evaluation phases are carried out by the primary user, e.g. a diabetic, while maintaining the control function of the secondary user.
