1. A system for collecting and transmitting medical and health-related data of at least one user over a network, the system comprising:

  • a pre-existing measuring device adapted to measure at least one physiological attribute of a user, comprising;

    a digital display adapted to display the physiological attribute measurement of the user; and

    a processor adapted to output a first signal to the digital display over a communication bus, wherein the first signal is related to the physiological attribute measurement of the user;

    an integration system coupled to the communication bus, the integration system adapted to acquire the measurement from the pre-existing measuring device by tapping the first signal from the communication bus such that the first signal is not degraded causing the digital display to read an incorrect value, and adapted to convert the first signal into a second signal for wireless transmission over a network;

    a communications system adapted to wirelessly transmit the second signal over the network; and

    a remote system communicatively coupled to the network and adapted to receive the second signal.
