| abstract |
A system has a measuring device providing a readout of a physiological condition, an imaging apparatus with an Internet connection, an image recognition module executing on the imaging apparatus, the image recognition module adapted to compare images to a library of options, and to process the readout by optical character recognition (OCR), and an internet-connected server coupled to a data repository, the Internet-connected server executing coded instructions on a processor. The measuring device is engaged, providing the readout of the physiological condition of the subject, an image of the measuring device including the readout is captured by the imaging apparatus in a single image, the image recognition module identifies the device and the nature of the physiological condition, processes the readout image by optical character recognition, and transmits the nature of the device, the physiological condition, the subject's identification, and the processed value of the readout to the internet-connected server. |
