Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system for providing bidirectional communication between a patient operating a medical measurement device and a third party, using the device to facilitate such communication. Some examples of the device collect data concerning the physiological condition of the patient. The device transmits the data to a DME server for subsequent transmission to the third party, and also receives treatment-related information from the DME server that is originated by the same or a different third party. The DME server transmits the data received from the device to the third party, if said third party is authorized to receive such data.
