ABSTRACT:
A patient monitoring system. A patient has access to a touch-tone telephone that has keys. The telephone is operated by a patient to generate DTMF tones. A central monitoring system is coupled to the touch-tone telephone. The central monitoring system generates questions concerning a health condition of the patient for the patient to answer using the keys of the touch-tone telephone. The central monitoring system stores answers to the questions for later retrieval. The central monitoring system include a DTMF modem decoder for receiving and decoding DTMF tones generated by the patient using the touch-tone telephone and transmitted to the central monitoring system. The DTMF tones represent the health condition of the patient. A computer processor is coupled to the DTMF modem decoder. A voice generator is also coupled to the computer processor and generates voice output under the control of the computer processor. The voice output is transmitted to the touch-tone telephone. A database is coupled to the computer processor, storing a patient record reflecting the health condition of the patient and also storing the questions concerning the health condition of the patient.
