1. Apparatus comprising:
- display;
network interface;
processor controlling the display and communicating with the Internet through the network interface;
the processor executing logic including;
presenting a first user interface (UI) on the display enabling a person to log in to a health monitoring feature with a user name and password and/or to create a new account, such that the apparatus maintains health records by user name, so that it may monitor plural people;
presenting a second UI on the display listing multiple parameters from which a person may select one or more to monitor by means of the input device;
presenting a third UI on the display responsive to a selecting a parameter from the second UI allowing a person to enter numbers associated with a measurement of the parameter;
recording at least a time of receipt of the numbers;
presenting a fourth UI on the display presenting a history of measurements of the parameter associated with the person;
wherein the fourth UI presents upper and/or lower limit lines established per standard of care guidance as to what upper and/or lower “
safe”
limits of the parameter being displayed are, and the processor presents a fifth UI on the display responsive to the numbers associated with a measurement of the parameter being within guidelines, the fifth UI being presented automatically on the display after a predetermined period of time during which the fourth UI appears on the display.
