1. A method for adaptive, multi-level processing of health data with said processing levels distributed among computing devices connected to a network of computers, said method comprising:
- collecting at least one signal of an individual'"'"'s health data by substantially continuous monitoring said health data;
sending said at least one signal to a first computing device for first-level processing which includes detecting a plurality of primary elements of said data and processing said primary elements in low resolution to generate data respecting time intervals or amplitudes of said primary elements, storing reference values of said primary elements, and comparing said reference values with newly received data to produce qualitative indicators and quantitative data of differences between said reference values and said newly received data;
sending said signal after said first-level processing to a second computing device for second-level processing at higher resolution and analysis of changes, selected from at least one of continuous and serial changes, in at least some of the said primary elements in said data, using at least one method selected from mathematical decomposition and methods of artificial intelligence to improve at least one of said first-level and second-level processing, said second-level processing being adapted to correspond to at least one parameter selected from the user commands and computational resources of the network and said first and second computing devices;
exchanging information between said first-level and second-level processing, said exchanging adapted to correspond to at least one parameter selected from the network data-transfer rate, user commands and computational resources of said first and second computing devices; and
displaying at least the results of one of said first-level and second-level processing.

Abstract
Adaptive system for medical monitoring distributes data processing among computing devices connected to a network to optimize usage of computational resources, network communication speed and user experience. Data processing is distributed into several levels with bi-directional communication between the levels (computing devices) to coordinate and adjust data compression, filtering, and analysis, as well as the size of buffered data available for transmission and/or receiving.
