1. A system for collecting physiological data from a remote patient and retrieving the physiological data, the system comprising:
- a hub in wireless communication with a medical sensor device, the hub including a data repository system and an interactive voice response (IVR) system; and
a first telephone in communication with the IVR system of the hub, such that a patient receives a set of instructions from the IVR through the first telephone, wherein the set of instructions prompt the user to self administer the collection of a set of physiological data with the medical sensor device and requires the patient to confirm each of a plurality of steps in the set of instructions with a user interface of the first telephone.
