Abstract

A system and method for processing monitoring data utilizing data templates are provided. A monitoring system includes a server in communication with various monitoring devices, including biometric monitoring devices. The monitoring system obtains the monitoring device data and evaluates the data according to data profiles that define one or more data templates, one or more data rules, and one or more outputs associated with the evaluation of the data rules. The data profiles, data rules, and data templates may be generated, formatted and distributed via a central repository.
