Abstract

Systems and methods described herein facilitate biometric, health, and activity data aggregation and visualization in order to provide improved physical performance tracking and medical monitoring. In some examples, the system can providing real time access to healthcare providers during telehealth sessions. In some examples, the system can include infectious disease monitoring, enabling a healthcare provider to monitor and provide healthcare to a group of patients outside of a clinical setting.

Core Innovation

The invention is a health data communication system that receives data from a plurality of sources associated with a patient, including a sensor configured to collect physiological data and medical record data from a plurality of disparate different electronic health record data stores having respective different data storage application programming interfaces. The medical record data comprises medications, clinical notes, immunizations, diagnoses, lab results, and vital signs.

The system processes the received data and aggregates the data from the plurality of disparate different electronic health record data stores to fit a pre-determined format, including data correlation of different types of data from different electronic health record data stores and/or sensors having one or more common characteristics. The correlated different types of data are enabled to be presented together via the pre-determined format, where the pre-determined format comprises a graph and/or a table. The processed data are saved to a database.

The system facilitates real-time communication over at least one network between a computing device of a user and a computing device of the patient, enabling an audio-visual telehealth call. During the telehealth call, the system causes real time visual information associated with the call to be displayed within a graphical user interface and simultaneously displays a first navigable screen and additional navigable screens configured to display telehealth visit content and respective subsets of the processed data, while continuing to output visual information on the first display.

The invention addresses a documented need to aggregate and correlate physiological data with heterogeneous medical record data categories from disparate electronic health record data stores with respective different data storage application programming interfaces into a unified presentation format for telehealth, enabling processed data generation, storage, access, and simultaneous presentation of telehealth content alongside correlated medical record data and physiological data.

Claims Coverage

The provided claim set includes three independent claims. Across these, the coverage centers on aggregating and correlating physiological sensor data with heterogeneous EHR data into a pre-determined graph/table format, saving processed data to a database, and enabling a real-time audio-visual telehealth call with simultaneous graphical user interface presentation of telehealth content and subsets of processed data, with additional content including time zone/time information and billing codes.

Correlating physiological data with disparate EHR data into a predetermined graph/table format for presentation

Receiving data from a plurality of sources associated with the patient, including physiological data collected by a sensor and medical record data from a plurality of disparate different electronic health record data stores having respective different data storage application programming interfaces, and processing the received data to aggregate and correlate different types of data having one or more common characteristics to fit a pre-determined format comprising a graph and/or a table.

Saving processed correlated health data to a database

Saving the processed data to a database, where the processed data are generated from the received data from the sensor and from the plurality of disparate different electronic health record data stores to fit the pre-determined format.

Simultaneous telehealth audiovisual communication with simultaneous display of telehealth content and subsets of processed data

Facilitating real-time communication over at least one network between a computing device of a user and a computing device of the patient for a real-time audio-visual telehealth call, and causing to display within a graphical user interface, along with real time visual information associated with the telehealth call, a first navigable screen and other navigable screens configured to display telehealth visit content and respective subsets of the processed data while continuing to output visual information on the first display.

Accessing processed data during telehealth via a request and graphical user interface

Receiving a request to access the processed data associated with the patient from the computing device of the user, where the processed data are generated from the received sensor data and the plurality of disparate different electronic health record data stores to fit the pre-determined format, and causing simultaneous display of navigable screens configured to display different aspects of medical record data and physiological data.

Time zone information included in the predetermined format

Wherein the pre-determined format comprises time zone or time zone information.

Billing codes included in the predetermined format

Wherein the pre-determined format comprises billing codes such as CPT or HCPCS.

Across the independent claims, the core coverage is the combination of aggregating and correlating sensor physiological data with medical record data from disparate EHR stores into a pre-determined format comprising a graph and/or a table, saving the processed correlated data to a database, and supporting real-time audio-visual telehealth with simultaneous graphical user interface presentation of telehealth content and subsets of the processed data. Additional claim variations specify that the pre-determined format includes time zone/time information and/or billing codes such as CPT or HCPCS.
