Abstract

A system and method that remotely accesses and diagnoses the medical condition of an individual patient and of each patient in a group of patients and provides treatment based upon the diagnoses of the individual patient and the risk stratification the individual patient assumes in the group of patients.

Claims

1. A remote health management system, the system comprising:

an accessing system having a profile computer, the profile computer further having a monitoring application, a task scheduler, a content assignor, a dialog generator, a script generator, and a report generator;

a database in communication with the accessing system, the database having a protocol section, a profile section, a task list section, and a dialogs library section; and

a communication network connected to the accessing system, the communication network further connected to a plurality of remote terminals, each remote terminal connected to a monitoring device operated by an individual patient, an external data source, a healthcare provider, and a managed care organization,

such that the medical condition of each individual patient is diagnosed, a risk-stratification is established of each individual patient in a group of patients, and a treatment provided to each individual patient based upon the diagnosis of the individual patient and the risk stratification that the individual patient assumes in the group of patients.
