Abstract
A patient management system includes a device, an interactive display, a repeater unit, and a host. The device assesses at least one dietary condition of a patient. The interactive display receives patient input related to the patient'"'"'s dietary conditions and communicates dietary feedback to the patient. The system may also include at least one sensor configured to assess at least one dietary condition of the patient. The repeater unit collects information from the device, the interactive display and the sensors. The host communicates with the repeater through a network. The patient'"'"'s own input of dietary information into the system can be useful for verifying sources of measured data and enhancing feedback given to the patient. The system is configured to perform accurately even in the absence of patient input or the input of incorrect information by the patient.
