The CareCompanion System consists of two components: a transportable Patient Station installed typically in a patient's home; and the Nurse Station, installed in a healthcare provider or professional caregiver's office. The two components communicate with each other through modems over standard telephone lines and transmit real-time video, audio and data between them. The real-time video and audio communications allow the patient and the caregiver to view and speak with each other. Using vital signs measurement devices integrated with the Patient Station, the Patient Station is designed to monitor the patient's blood pressure, pulse rate, blood glucose level, weight, blood oxygen saturation level and/or heart, lung and bowel sounds, and transmit this data to the Nurse Station. The data is displayed to the caregiver operating the Nurse Station and also automatically recorded in a patient information database. The heart, lung and bowel sounds may be listened to by the caregiver using a set of headphones supplied with the system. The Nurse Station consists of two sub-components, the Nurse Station PC, which is a standard PC with supporting peripherals connected to a videophone, which provides the video conferencing functions for the Nurse Station. The Nurse Station PC may also operate as a standalone device for patient data management and record keeping functions.

The two components communicate with each other through modems over standard telephone lines and transmit real-time video, audio and data between them. The real-time video and audio communications allow the patient and the caregiver to view and speak with each other. With existing legally marketed vital signs measurement devices integrated with the Patient Station, the Patient Station is designed to monitor the patient's blood pressure, pulse rate, blood glucose level, weight and/or heart, lung and bowel sounds, and transmit this data to the Nurse Station. The data is displayed to the caregiver operating the Nurse Station and also automatically recorded in a patient information database. The heart, lunq and bowel sounds may be listened to by the caregiver using a set of headphones supplied with the system. Vital signs measurement devices integrated in the CareCompanion are FDA approved devices and are used for the same purposes for which they received 510(k) approval. The Patient Station may be configured for use with one to four devices. The Nurse Station consists of two sub-components, the Nurse Station PC, which is a standard PC with supporting peripherals connected to a videophone, which provides the video conferencing functions for the Nurse Station. The Nurse Station PC may also operate as a standalone device for patient data management and record keeping functions.

The HomeCare Information Network System (HINS) consists of two components: the N2000 Base Station installed typically in a patient's home; and the N2001 Nurse Station located in the provider or professional caregiver's office. The two components communicate with each other through modems over standard telephone lines and transmit real-time video, audio and data between them. The real-time video and audio communications allow the patient and the caregiver to view and speak with each other. With existing legally marketed vital signs measurement devices integrated with the N2000 Base Station, the N2000 Base Station is designed to monitor the patient's blood pressure, pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose level, temperature, weight and/or heart, lung and bowel sounds, and transmit this data to the N2001 Nurse Station. The real-time data is displayed to the caregiver operating the N2001 Nurse Station and also automatically recorded in a patient information database. The heart, lung and bowel sounds are recorded from the electronic stethoscope supplied with the system. Vital signs measurement devices integrated in the HINS are FDA approved devices and have received 510(k) approval. The N2000 may be configured for use with one to five devices.
