Abstract
A multilevel network system is provided for exchanging medical-related data. The data may originate from a variety of controllable and prescribable resources, such as at medical institutions. Patient computing devices are also included as clients to the system. Computer-assisted data operating algorithms may provide for identifying trends, including disease trends in a population connected via the network. An integrated knowledge base may be accessed and compiled by virtue of the network links.
