SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING HEALTH OF HOME ISOLATED
PATIENT AND AUTOMATICALLY DEMANDING HEALTH RESOURCES USING
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
ABSTRACT
The present invention relates to a system and method for monitoring health of home isolated
patient and automatically demanding health resources using artificial intelligent technique. The
objective of present invention is to solve the anomalies presented in the prior art techniques and
technologies related to healthcare monitoring of patients who are home isolated due to a disease
such as covid-19. The presents disclosure further fulfils the need of automatically demanding health
resources prescribed by doctor at home. The whole process is completely automatic and based on
artificial intelligent model. The present invention remotely monitors the home isolated patients
using Biomedical sensor based smart wearable devices for collecting various physiological and health
related parameters of the patient. These various health related parameters are taken periodically
and updated to the server. The server is a smart machine which is based on artificial intelligent
model. The collected data taken periodically related to a patient is analyzed and a graph related to
said parameters is formed. Further the server machine is intelligent enough to find out abnormal
pattern in the collected parameters using said graph. The server machine is also intelligent enough
to detect any health-related issues using individual parameters also. If, the server machine detects
any abnormal pattern in the collected data then the said data is sent to tied up doctors related to
the patient. The doctors can also access the patient's data any time. The doctor prescribes the
medication to the patient on the basis of data collected by the system. The server machine
comprises prescription analysis module for analyzing the prescription and determines the health
resources needed. The determined health resources are then automatically demanded from nearby
available and registered health resource provider using the location of the patient and a notification
is sent to the registered health care service provider along with the details of health resources
demanded. The health care service provider accepts the demand and fulfils the demanded health
resources as and when needed on priority basis at the location of the patient. In this way, the
monitoring of home isolated patient becomes easy and patients get health services as and when
needed seamlessly.

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of monitoring home isolated patient. The field of the invention is to monitor the home isolated patient and automatically demanding health resources using artificial intelligence.
[0002] More particularly, this present invention relates to the field of remotely monitoring the home isolated patients with regard to any health-related issues and automatically demanding the prescribed health resources using artificial intelligence technique in emergency.
[0003] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in-and-of themselves may also be inventions.
[0004] In this global pandemic situation due to covid-19 disease where most of the population of the world is affected by this disease. Patients are getting infected from the covid disease and health care service providers are unable to provide service at hospital due to limited bed availability at hospital. The major population of the world is affected by the disease and health system is collapsed and unable to fulfil the demands at time due to many constraints. Hence, the patients infected with such kind of disease are bound to home isolated themselves. But, monitoring of these home isolated patients timely and keenly is an important factor for providing timely and suitable treatment to these patients. Hence, periodic monitoring of home isolated patient is an important demand of this pandemic time.
[0005] The identification of symptoms and health related issues timely is a difficult task and a patient which is home isolated is not capable enough to monitor and identify the health-related issues. The collection/measurement of parameters related to the disease and inference of the values measured for and ordinary person is a difficult task. Further, a patient which is home isolated cannot contact to a doctor and consult with the values measured due to various constraints. Hence, there is a need of the system which can automatically and periodically monitor the various health related parameters and inter the values with respect to any abnormality.
[0006] Further, based on the data collected and prescribed medication by the doctor, the patient needs the prescribed health resources. The outing of the home isolated patient for accumulating health resources is a very risky task as they can infect other people also. Further, it is also not possible for the infected patient to go to market and collect the prescribed resources from the market. Hence, there is also a need of the system to automatically demand health resources from health care service provider and fulfil the requirements immediately. The proposed system here is based on artificial intelligence technique. Artificial intelligence is the latest technology that automates the human life and able to take decision intelligently. Artificial intelligence is an intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals. As the use of artificial intelligent models are increasing in every field for improving the effectiveness and correctness of the work to be done. The artificial intelligent models are based on various models that makes the said system more competent and capable in the said field. Machines can work and act like a human if they have enough information. So, in artificial intelligent models, knowledge engineering plays a vital role. The relation between objects and properties are established to implement knowledge engineering.
[0007] Hence, there is a need of a system and method based on artificial intelligence to monitor the home isolated patients and automatically demanding health resources from the registered health care service providers. There are various prior art that aim to resolve the said issue which are discussed below:
[0008] US8663106 B2 - A monitoring system comprises a module having at least one sensor and preferably skin and ambient temperature sensors within a housing. The device may be durable or disposable. The housing may be provided with certain surface features and shapes to facilitate mounting on and interface with the skin of the wearer for more accurate temperature measurement. A receiver may be provided to obtain and display data from the module. The module may also display the output data. The output data comprises both detected and derived data relating to physiological and contextual parameters of the wearer and may be transmitted directly to a local recipient or remotely over a communications network. The system is capable of deriving and predicting the occurrence of a number of physiological and conditional states and events and reporting the same as output data.
[0009] US8871095 B2 - A dialysis method comprising coding a wireless receiver of a dialysis machine with at least one of an address or a personal identification number ("PIN"); and receiving at least one of blood pressure data from a blood pressure monitor wirelessly or patient weight data from a weight scale wirelessly, wherein the at least one coded address or PIN ensures that the at least one of the blood pressure data or the patient weight data is received by the receiver as opposed to a receiver of another dialysis machine.
[0010] US20210113105 Al - A method and system for calculating, estimating, or monitoring the physiological parameters of a subject.
