Abstract
A networked health-monitoring system for collecting and processing patient health-related data. A plurality of remote patient sites each includes at least one display, a data management unit configured to facilitate collection of patient health-related data, a memory, and stored program instructions for generating health-monitoring related information on the display. At least one central server connects to the data management unit at each patient site and the system allows a patient at a remote patient site to control the display of health-monitoring related information on the display.

47. A method of collecting and processing patient health-related data, comprising:
-
associating each of a plurality of remote patient sites with a respective patient, wherein each of the remote patient sites includes a respective patient device configured to facilitate collection of patient health-related data from the respective patient; using program instructions, received from at least one central server connectable for communication with the respective patient device and stored in a memory of the respective patient device, to generate health-monitoring related information on at least one display of the respective patient device at the respective remote patient site; collecting the patient-health related data at the respective remote patient site through execution of the program instructions; connecting said at least one central server for communication with the respective patient device at the respective remote patient site to communicate said program instructions to said respective patient device in a first mode and to communicate said patient-health related data to said at least one central server in a second mode, wherein (i) a data management unit is configured to establish a respective communication link with the central server to enter said first mode as a communications mode, (ii) the central server is configured to send the program instructions to the remote patient sites of the respective patient in response to establishing the respective communication link, and (iii); and allowing the respective patient at the respective remote patient site to control presentation of health-monitoring related information to the respective patient on the at least one display of the respective patient device at the respective remote patient site through execution of the program instructions. - View Dependent Claims (48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91)
