Patent US 7,147,600

A system for determining a reference baseline of patient information for automated remote patient care is presented. A medical device regularly records and stores measures sets including individual measures relating to patient information by a medical device adapted to be implanted during an initial time period. A database collects one or more patient care records containing the collected measures sets. A database module stores the collected measures set into a patient care record within the database. A server receives the collected device measures set from the medical device via a receiver. An analysis module within the server processes the collected device measures set into a set of reference measures. Each reference measure is representative of measured or derived patient information. The reference measures set is stored into the patient care record as data in a reference baseline indicating an initial patient status.
