Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for a wireless health monitoring system for interactively monitoring a health condition of a patient by connecting an internet-enabled wireless device (“WWD”) to a health monitoring device which may be a medical device.
The health related data is transmitted from the WWD to a server using standard internet protocols. The server calculates a response using a software program which may include an algorithm or artificial intelligence system, and may further provide for review by a physician or health specialist. The user may interact with the server. For example, the server transmits a response to the WWD, and the user may answer the response or provide other information.
