Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for allowing an individual to view a program remotely. In the preferred embodiment, the invention is used as a healthcare education system. The system comprises a file server which is coupled to a database storing the educational programs. A remote interface coupled to the file server allows an administrator to assign educational programs to an individual. The remote interface also includes a memory card writer which records the individual identification code and the address of the file server on this memory card. Then, the individual may take the memory card with them. When the individual places the memory card in the memory card reader of a multimedia processor, the processor uses the file server address to automatically connect to the file server. The file server receives the individual identification code from the processor, retrieves the corresponding educational program from the database, and sends the program to the processor to be displayed. After the individual has watched the educational program, completion data in the form of the date and time the program was watched and/or the individual's response, is sent from the multimedia processor to the file server. The completion data can then be viewed by the administrator on a report screen.

  • All of the above applications are herein incorporated by reference.[0003]
  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention generally relates to remote education systems. More particularly, this present invention relates to a system and method of remote health education in which an individual is provided with a memory card capable of being placed in a multimedia processor to automatically access selected educational health programs. [0004]
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • One of the biggest problems many healthcare providers face is their patients' lack of knowledge. Patients may lack knowledge on basic preventative measures, such as why they should exercise, eat right, and not smoke. Patients may also lack knowledge on conditions or diseases they do have, such as how to measure their blood glucose levels if they are diabetic. This lack of knowledge is a problem for healthcare providers because patients who do not know how to take care of themselves are ill more frequently. Thus, they tend to visit their doctors more often and also tend to incur additional costs for hospital stays or laboratory tests. This results in greater fees for the patient, his or her insurance company, and often the taxpayers. [0005]
  • An example of this problem is seen in some diabetes patients. Diabetic patients must regularly receive insulin shots and adhere to a specific diet in order to control their blood glucose levels. Unfortunately, some diabetic patients do not understand all the reasons why they should have regular insulin shots or why they should or should not eat certain foods. In addition, many diabetic patients are unaware of the health consequences should they deviate from their treatment plan. As a result, uninformed patients usually become sicker and require more medical treatment when compared to patients who understand all aspects of their diseases. Sicker patients require more healthcare, which is expensive and time-consuming for healthcare professionals, insurance companies, and the patients themselves. [0006]
  • One way to solve this problem is to increase the amount of education patients receive about their lifestyle choices and/or their diseases. When patients know what is required to stay healthy, they are less likely to become ill and require treatment. In addition, if patients understand the health problems that will result from not taking care of themselves, they will be more likely to follow their prescribed treatments. Presently, forms of health education range from pamphlets in a doctor's office to radio announcements and television shows. Paper-based educational materials such as pamphlets are cheap and easy to both produce and distribute. Unfortunately, pamphlets or articles are limited to words and pictures and are usually quite boring, which makes it less likely that patients read them. Radio announcements and television shows are more lively and entertaining, but they indiscriminately broadcast to the general public. Accordingly, these radio announcements and television show cannot be customized to a particular patient. [0007]
  • Due to technological advances, patients can now be educated using CD-ROMs, the Internet, and multimedia processors. U.S. Pat. No. 5,307,263 by the present inventor discloses a modular, microprocessor-based health monitoring system. The hand-held unit has a display screen, a control button pad, interchangeable program cartridges, and sensors for monitoring a variety of healthcare data. The program cartridges include motivational and educational material related to use of the device, including step-by-step instructions. Acquired data may be transmitted to a data management unit via an interface cable, or to a clearing house via telephone lines. A program cartridge for monitoring glucose levels and a glucose sensor is disclosed for the purpose of caring for children with diabetes. [0008]
  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,597,307 and 5,624,265 by Redford and Stern describe an educational system and apparatus aimed at children which also uses a multimedia processor. This invention comprises a remote control located in a book or other printed publication. A child reads the book while watching the display generated by the multimedia processor, and then press the buttons in the remote control book to alter what he sees. [0009]
  • None of these prior art education systems allow an individual to automatically access assigned educational programs remotely. These inventions described above provide general educational programs which are not tailored to the specific needs of an individual. These systems do not allow a healthcare provider or teacher to easily custom-design an educational program to be viewed by the individual. Further, none of these systems provide confirmation that the individual completed the educational program. Finally, none of these systems provide a patient or individual access to an unlimited number of educational programs. [0010]

Preferably, the memory card reader is coupled to or located within the multimedia processor, which in turn is coupled to the file server. Upon receiving the memory card, the multimedia processor preferably sends the individual's identification code to the file server. Preferably, the file server then calls up the assigned educational program from the database. The content of the educational program is sent to the multimedia processor and displayed on a display unit for the individual. [0012]
  • Preferably, the file server is notified when the individual has completed the educational program. Completion data includes the date and time the individual watched the educational program. Further, the completion data can also include responses made by the individual to the educational program. Preferably, the file server records the completion data and then sends the completion data to the remote interface for the administrator to review. [0013]
  • In the preferred embodiment of the remote education system, the file server is a web server, the remote interface is an interactive web page, and the communication link is the Internet. An administrator preferably assigns an educational program to the individual by entering the assignment information onto the web page. Preferably, the assignment information is sent to the web server. When the individual places the memory card into the card reader, the multimedia processor preferably sends the individual's identification code to the web server, which in turn, preferably calls up the educational program from the database. In the preferred embodiment, the database comprises one or more web servers, which allows the administrator to assign to the individual an unlimited amount of material. [0014]

It is to be understood that [0031] system 110 may include any number of databases for storing any number of educational programs, and any number of multimedia processors for use by any number of individuals.
  • FIG. 2 shows a detailed block diagram of the preferred embodiment of the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 1. The [0032] server 112 preferably includes a general software application 142 which is used create a patient database 144 and a patient table 146. Preferably, the software application 142 is also capable of programming the file server 112 to carry out standard commands such as receiving, saving, and transmitting information. The patient database 144 is preferably coupled to the database 148 containing the educational programs. Alternatively, the patient database 144 can also contain pointers to the database 148 containing the educational programs. The advantage of utilizing the pointers is that they allow the healthcare provider to assign any number of the educational programs within the database 148 to the individual, as long as the educational programs within the database 148 are capable of being transmitted to the multimedia processor 124 and shown on the display 28. Thus, suitable forms of educational programs within the database 148 preferably include photos, videos, animation, static web pages, interactive web pages, etc. Preferably, the patient table 146, which is stored in the memory of the file server 112, lists the patients, their identification codes, and educational programs within the database 148 which have been assigned to them.
  • Preferably, the patient table [0033] 146 is generated by information entered into an assignment screen 150 of the remote interface 114. This assignment screen 150, which is illustrated in FIG. 3, preferably lists available educational programs within the database 148, each with a corresponding check box 166, and patients, also each with a corresponding check box 168. The administrator preferably brings up the assignment screen 150 on the display 116 of the remote interface 114. The administrator preferably selects a check box 168 for a patient and then preferably selects a check box 166 corresponding to educational program within the database 148 to be assigned to the patient. More than one educational program within the database 148 may be assigned to each patient. In addition, more than one patient may be assigned the same educational program within the database 148. The administrator then preferably selects an ASSIGN PROGRAM button 170, which preferably stores the assignment in the patient table 146. The assignment screen 150 also preferably includes a DELETE PROGRAM button 172, which allows the administrator to erase the assignment.
  • Preferably, new listings of patients and educational programs within the [0034] database 148 are easily created by the administrator by clicking on an ADD NEW PATIENT button 174 or an ADD NEW PROGRAM button 176, respectively.
  • Preferably, when the ADD [0035] NEW PATIENT button 174 button is selected, a new field is added to the patient category, and the administrator then types in a name of a new patient. Likewise, when the ADD NEW PROGRAM button 176 is selected, a new field is preferably added to the program category, and the administrator then preferably types in a name of the new educational program within the database 148. Preferably, after pressing either the ADD NEW PATIENT button 174 or the ADD NEW PROGRAM button 176, the administrator finally saves the addition by clicking on a SAVE NEW LISTING button 178. The new listings are preferably then saved in the patient table 146.
  • In the preferred embodiment, the [0036] remote interface 114 is a web page. Thus, using the keyboard 120, as shown in FIG. 1, the administrator preferably creates customized educational programs in the form of static or interactive web pages for patients. The administrator creates the web page using a scripting language such as HTML or Java, and then stores it on the patient database 144. These web pages can be accessed by the multimedia processor 124 in the same manner as the above mentioned educational programs within the database 148.
  • Referring to FIG. 2 again, the [0037] remote interface 114 also preferably comprises a report screen 152 which is preferably shown on display 116. The report screen 152, as illustrated in FIG. 4, preferably informs the administrator when the patient has completed watching the assigned educational program within the database 148 and/or a program score. Specific techniques for writing report generator programs to display data in this manner are well known in the art.
  • The program score is generally determined by evaluating patient responses to an interactive educational program, such as an interactive web page. FIG. 5 shows a sample educational program which includes questions for the patient to answer preferably using the [0038] input device 134.
  • The [0039] memory card writer 118 is preferably coupled to the remote interface 114. The memory card writer 118 preferably encodes information onto a magnetic strip or circuit. The process of storing information on a magnetic strip or circuit is well known in the art. The memory card 122 preferably contains a patient identification code 156 and a file server address 154.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, the [0040] multimedia processor 124 also preferably comprises a memory means 160, a memory card reader 126 a central processing unit (CPU) 158, a modem 164, and an audiovisual display 128. The memory card reader 126, memory means 160, modem 164, and audiovisual display 128 are all preferably coupled to the CPU 158. Preferably, the multimedia processor 124 couples to the file server 112 via the modem 164 and the communication link 40, which is preferably a telephone cable. Preferably, the multimedia processor 124 is programmed to automatically dial out using the modem 164 whenever the memory card 122 is placed in the memory card reader 126.
  • Preferably, the [0041] memory card reader 126 comprises means for detecting and interpreting the information stored on the memory card 122. In the preferred embodiment, the memory card reader 126 is a magnetic strip reader. When the patient places the memory card 122 into the memory card reader 126, the information is preferably sent to the CPU 158 and then to the memory means 160. Preferably, the information is then sent to the file server 112 via the modem 164.
  • The memory means [0042] 160 of the multimedia processor 124 preferably stores program instructions on how to connect to the file server 112 and how to transmit the patient identification code 156. In addition, the memory means 160 preferably receives and stores the assigned educational programs within the database 148 from the file server 112. When the content of these educational programs within the database 148 is sent to the multimedia processor 124 from the file server 112, the memory means 160 preferably translates the content of the educational programs within the database 148 into audiovisual signals to be shown on the display 128.
  • FIGS. 6A and 6B show a flowchart illustrating the steps carried out by the [0043] server 112 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. In step 202, the file server 112 first preferably asks if the administrator would like to create a new assignment. Creating a new assignment preferably entails either adding a new patient to the patient table 146 or assigning a new educational program within the database 148 to a patient. If the administrator decides to create a new assignment, the information is preferably stored in the patient table 146, as shown in step 204. In step 206, the new assignment information consisting of the patient identification code 156 and the file server address 154 is also preferably recorded on the memory card 122 by the memory card writer 118, and then given to the patient. If the administrator does not need to create a new assignment, she preferably moves directly from step 202 to step 208.
  • After the patient returns home, he preferably places the [0044] memory card 122 into the memory card reader 126 which is preferably coupled to the multimedia processor 124. Preferably, the file server address 154 on the memory card 122 allows the multimedia processor 124 to locate and couple to the file server 112 in step 208. The patient identification code 156 is preferably then sent over in step 210. In step 212, the file server 112 then preferably finds the educational program within the database 148 assigned to patient in the patient table 146. The pointer in the database 144 then retrieves the educational program within the database 148. If the educational program is located in a remote database, it is sent through the file server 112 to the multimedia processor 124, as shown in step 214. Preferably, the memory means 160 of the multimedia processor 124 then interprets and translates the content of the educational program 148 into audiovisual signals to be shown on the display 128.
  • After the patient finishes watching the assigned [0045] educational program 148, a set of completion data comprising the time, date, and/or patient responses are preferably sent from the multimedia processor 124 to the file server 112 in step 216. Step 218 preferably scores the patient responses to determine a program score. Step 220 then preferably records the set of completion data in the patient table 146 of the file server 112.
  • If the administrator wishes to view the set of completion data belonging to a particular patient, she preferably requests a patient report, as shown in [0046] step 222. Step 222 preferably occurs after the patient has watched and responded to the educational program 148 in step 220, or at any time after step 208 if there is no remote connection. Preferably, the file server 122 retrieves the patient completion data from the patient table 146, step 224, and then shows it in the form of the report screen 152 on the display 116 in step 226. The report screen 152 as illustrated in FIG. 4 shows an exemplary display of the students, the assigned program, the set of completion data, and the program score.
  • FIG. 7 is a flowchart outlining the steps involved in the processor program of [0047] multimedia processor 124 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The processor program may preferably be implemented by known software programs. The processor program preferably begins when the memory card 122 is placed in the memory card reader 126, as shown in step 302. Preferably, the memory card reader 126 scans the patient identification code 304 and the file server address 156 from the memory card 122 in step 304, and then sends the patient identification code 304 and the file server address 156 to the CPU 158. The file server address 156 preferably allows the CPU 158 to communicate with the file server 112 via the modem 164 in step 306. Subsequently, the patient identification code 154 is then preferably transmitted to the file server 112 in step 308. In step 310, the CPU 158 preferably receives the content of assigned educational program 148 via the modem 164. The content is preferably converted into audiovisual signals such that the content may be shown on the display 128 in step 312. The patient responses for the educational program within the database 148 is then preferably sent to the CPU 158 by the input device 134. Subsequently, the CPU 158 then preferably sends the program score and/or patient responses, along with other completion data, to the file server 112. The processor program of multimedia processor 124 then preferably ends.
  • The [0048] memory card reader 126 of the multimedia processor 124 preferably also has a writing function that is similar to the memory card writer 118 of the remote interface 114. This feature allows the program score to the educational program to be stored on memory card 122. The patient can then bring the memory card 122 to the healthcare provider or administrator for review. The memory card writer 118 of the remote interface 114 preferably also has reading capabilities. When the memory card 122 is inserted into the memory card writer/reader 118, the program scores are preferably downloaded into the remote interface 114. By bringing the memory card 122 to the healthcare provider, the patient is not required to transmit the patient responses over the communication link 140.
  • The present invention allows a healthcare provider or administrator to assign a remote educational program to a patient. The patient has the luxury of watching and responding to the program at the patient's own home and leisure. After the patient's response to the educational program, the data is then preferably transmitted to the file server and displayed for the administrator to view. Preferably, the administrator monitors whether or not the patient has watched the educational program, and can also evaluate the patient's responses to the program. [0049]

Many other embodiments of the present invention are possible, as this invention can be used in any field where it is desirable to remotely educate an individual. For example, teachers may utilize the present invention to assign lessons to their students, and employers may utilize the present invention to provide additional job training for their employees.
  • An alternate embodiment of the present invention allows companies to promote their products. Preprogrammed memory cards can be placed with a company's products. For example, when the consumer buys a product, he also receives the preprogrammed memory card, which contains a code identifying the product and the address of the company's consumer-product file server. When the consumer places the memory card into the memory card reader of the multimedia processor, the multimedia processor automatically connects the consumer to the company's file server. The file server preferably contains a consumer-product table which stores a list of all the company's products with corresponding pointers to relevant educational programs or advertisements. As an example, a sunblock product would have a pointer to a short video on basic sun safety, as well as an advertisement for all sunblock products made by that company. [0052]
  • When the file server receives the product identification code from the multimedia processor, the file server preferably retrieves the relevant educational program or advertisement and sends the relevant portion back to the consumer's multimedia processor. The consumer may then watch the program or advertisement on the display. [0053]
  • The present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiments incorporating details to facilitate the understanding of the principles of construction and operation of the invention. Such reference herein to specific embodiments and details thereof is not intended to limit the scope of the claims appended hereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made in the embodiment chosen for illustration without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. [0054]
  • Specifically, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the device of the present invention could be implemented in several different ways and the apparatus disclosed above is only illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention and is in no way a limitation. For example, it would be within the scope of the present invention to substitute various output devices in place of the displays and to substitute a floppy disk drive and a floppy diskette for the memory card reader/writer and the memory card, respectively. Further, it would be within the scope of the present invention to substitute the database for a plurality of databases linked via the Internet. [0055]
