The Electronic House Call System allows patients to measure vital signs without assistance from their healthcare provider.

The Electronic House Call System is also not intended to act as an emergency response system.

The Express MD Electronic House Call™ System is comprised of a home unit, legally marketed diagnostic peripherals, and a server. The home unit is a communications device that collects data from the diagnostic peripherals and the patient in the home and transmits the data to the server over the home's existing telephone line or other identified method (existing high-speed connection in patients' home). The diagnostic peripherals comprise a wide range of legally marketed medical electronic devices capable of measuring patient parameters such as blood pressure, pulse rate, weight, etc. The server application responds to calls from the home units, collects the data, and then compares the data to preset thresholds. The healthcare practitioners and privileged users access the server through a secure website. If a patient is found to be outside of a pre-set parameter, the healthcare practitioner will respond according to their set policies. In addition, an email will be sent to the clinician. This email indicates that the nurse/clinician should review the website. This is not a real time alert or an alarm but an email that does not identify a patient, parameter or clinical state.
