http://peertopatent.org/patent/561/prior_art/list A system and method of predicting telemetry signal dropout creates a prediction of patient destination. The method includes defining a telemetry coverage area, receiving a location of a monitored patient, recording the received location, calculating a trajectory and speed, and comparing the location, trajectory, and speed of the patient to historical patient movement trends to predict patient destination. The system includes a remote unit worn by a patient and at least one telemetry receiver, a location services computer, a patient location database, a location prediction computer, and a graphical display. The location services computer receives the location information and computes a location, speed, and trajectory of the patient. The location prediction computer compares the computed location, speed, and trajectory of the patient to previously acquired locations, speeds, and trajectories to predict a patient destination. en-us System and method of patient destination prediction Patent/Application #: 4706689<br/>Description: A new apparatus for location and monitoring of humans has been developed The device employs a unique programmable signal generator and detection system to locate and monitor the movement of individuals It additionally utilizes a physiological monitoring system to signal a warning for the necessity for immediate help The device is small enough to be implanted in young children as well as adults The power supply and signal generator are designed to function at a low duty cycle for prolonged periods before recharging Tue, 09 Aug 2011 10:14:15 -0700 http://peertopatent.org/prior_art/1255/detail
