METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING EXERCISE WITH WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
First Claim
1. An application on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the application configured to be downloaded to a WWD from an Internet server and configured for interoperability with an operating system on the WWD, the application comprising instructions for causing the WWD to:
- a. monitor an exercise parameter, wherein the exercise parameter includes both exercise data and physiological data, the monitor an exercise parameter including;
i. configure a first WWD to interact with an adaptor, the adaptor configured to receive an exercise parameter using a wireless communications scheme; and
ii. receive an exercise parameter using the configured adaptor;
b. render a user interface, including an indication of the exercise parameter;
c. transmit the exercise parameter to an Internet server; and
d. receive a response from the Internet server, the response a result of a calculation involving the exercise parameter.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for a wireless health monitoring system for interactively monitoring fitness or health condition of a user by connecting an internet-enabled wireless web device (“WWD”), such as a mobile phone or tablet, to a health monitoring device which may be a medical device or other device such as an exercise machine. The WWD may be wirelessly connected to the device, such as via an RF connection, including using protocols such as 802.15 or 802.11. The wireless connection may employ an adaptor, to convert proprietary RF schemes to input to a WWD. Alternatively, an adaptor may convert the output of a health monitoring device to a Bluetooth® signal for transmission to a WWD. The data is transmitted from the WWD to an Internet server using standard Internet protocols. The user may interact with the server and with other users equipped with similar apparatus.
