1. A system for processing information which is remotely accessible for computerized monitoring, management and control of a condition, comprising:
- a. at least one sensing device that detects said condition to provide a corresponding electrical signal representative of said condition;
b. a data collector that processes said electrical signal to provide data relating to said condition;
c. a transmitter that transmits said data over a communication link;
d. a computer system that manages the remote gathering, transmission, processing, storage, access, presentation and use of said data;
wherein said computer system comprises a server which processes said data for storage in a database and provides access to said database for retrieval and use of said data in making determinations related to the detected condition;
wherein said server remotely hosts hardware and software for managing and maintaining said database and is accessible by users over said communication link;
wherein said users comprise professional service providers and customers of said professional service providers and wherein said server provides data processing for said professional service providers and said customers to allow gathering, transmission, processing, storage, access, receipt and use of data related to professional services provided to said customer over the Internet;
wherein multiple data types and multiple server functions exist for a single customer or single professional service provider corresponding to multiple professional services provided to said customer and such that said data types and server functions are modifiable for different professional services; and
wherein more than one customer of a single professional service provider accesses said server for receipt of information of said customer provided by said professional service provider.
