1. A system for network-based transmission of data from a patient-side physiological collecting device, comprising:
- at least one patient-side device for collecting physiological data from a patient, the patient-side device being operatively coupled to a wide area network;
multiple provider-side devices coupled to the network, the at least one patient-side device sending the data to the provider-side devices;
an engine coupled to the network and resident on a device intermediate the at least one patient-side device and the provider-side devices, the engine communicating with the at least one patient-side device and the provider-side devices, the engine managing transmission of the data from the patient-side device to the provider-side devices;
wherein the data is monitored for an event, wherein an alert is output by at least one of the patient-side device and the provider-side devices upon occurrence of the event,wherein the at least one patient-side device encrypts the data prior to sending the data;
wherein a fee is charged for coordinating the sending of the data to the provider-side devices,wherein the at least one patient-side device includes a browser-based interface for allowing the patient to send human language communications to the provider-side devices,wherein the provider-side devices each include a browser-based interface for allowing one or more providers to send human language communications to the patient-side device,wherein one or more providers is allowed to remotely control the at least one patient-side device,wherein at least one of the one or more providers is allowed to remotely control at least a portion of the browser based interface of the at least one patient-side device,wherein clinical notes are stored on the device intermediate the at least one patient-side device and the provider-side devices,wherein the at least one patient-side device automatically detects medical devices coupled thereto.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for network-based monitoring of physiological data. At least one patient-side device collects physiological data from a patient. A provider-side device receives the data from at least one patient-side device via a wide area network. An engine communicates with at least one patient-side device and the provider-side device. The engine manages transmission of the data from the patient-side device to the provider-side device.
