Health monitoring system and method
First Claim
1. A system for remotely managing the health of an individual comprising:
- a) a server;
b) a remote interface for entering into the server a set of queries to be answered by the individual; and
c) a remotely programmable apparatus for interacting with the individual, the remotely programmable apparatus being in communication with the server via a communication network;
wherein the server comprises;
i) means for receiving responses to the set of queries, from the remotely programmable apparatus; and
ii) database means for storing the set of queries and the received responses to the set of queries; and
wherein the remotely programmable apparatus comprises;
i) a transceiver for receiving the set of queries from the server and for transmitting the responses to the set of queries, to the server;
ii) a user interface for presenting the set of queries to the individual and for receiving the responses to the set of queries;
iii) memory means for storing the set of queries and the responses to the set of queries; and
iv) a processor connected to the transceiver, the user interface, and the memory means, for communicating the set of queries to the individual, receiving the responses to the set of queries, and transmitting the responses to the server.

Abstract
A system for ongoing collection, transmission, storage, analysis, and presentation of physiological and other personal data from individuals is provided. The information is collected through a communications network from sources such as physiological sensors, existing databases, keyboard/keypad/mouse input, interactive voice response (IVR) systems, and web interfaces. Storage of information is provided by secure network data servers. Analysis algorithms are applied to the information at multiple points within the system to generate reports and alerts that may be presented through various interfaces to authorized system users, including patients, medical doctors and other Caregivers. The system also analyses and parses data, generating queries to the user/patient to complement the analysis, providing alerts, reminders and both lifestyle and medical-related feedback.

9. A method for remotely monitoring the health of an individual, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) providing the individual with an apparatus having; i) communication means for exchanging data with a server through a communication network, wherein the data includes a program executable by the apparatus to communicate queries to the individual, to receive responses to the queries, and to transmit the responses to the server; ii) memory means for storing the program and the responses to the queries; iii) user interface means for communicating the queries to the individual and for receiving the responses to the queries; and iv) processor means connected to the communication means, the user interface means, and the memory means for executing the program; b) entering in the server the queries to be answered by the individual; c) on the server, generating the program from the queries; d) transmitting the program from the server to the apparatus through the communication network; e) executing the program in the apparatus to communicate the queries to the individual, to receive the responses, and to transmit the responses to the server; and f) receiving and storing the responses in the server.
