System and method for providing feedback to an individual patient

Abstract

A system for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care is presented. An implantable medical device collects device measures on a substantially continuous basis from an implant recipient. A remote client obtains patient wellness indicators through voice feedback provided by the implant recipient substantially contemporaneous to the collection of at least one set of the device measures. A database stores the collected device measures into a patient care record. A server receiving and processing the device measures includes a feedback module processing the voice feedback against a stored speech vocabulary into normalized quality of life measures for storage into the patient care record, and an analysis module analyzing the physiological measures and the quality of life measures stored in the patient care record relative to at least one of other physiological measures and other quality of life measures to generate patient status feedback.

1 . A system for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care, comprising: 
 an implantable medical device collecting device measures on a substantially continuous basis from an implant recipient;    a remote client obtaining patient wellness indicators through voice feedback provided by the implant recipient substantially contemporaneous to the collection of at least one set of the device measures;    a database storing the collected device measures as physiological measures into a patient care record in a database, the physiological measures comprising at least one of collected or derived physiological measures; and    a server receiving and processing the device measures, comprising: 
 a feedback module processing the voice feedback against a stored speech vocabulary into normalized quality of life measures for storage into the patient care record;  
 an analysis module analyzing the physiological measures and the quality of life measures stored in the patient care record through derived measure determination and statistical value calculation relative to at least one of other physiological measures and other quality of life measures to generate patient status feedback.
