1. A method, comprising:

  • using a risk-determining circuit to determine automatically a risk that a subject medically treated for a medical condition will be medically retreated for the medical condition within a retreatment time period;

    using a fee-calculating circuit to calculate automatically, in response to a determined risk, a fee for taking an action if the subject is medically retreated for the medical condition within the retreatment time period;

    using a requesting circuit to request a first electronic to measure a biological condition of the subject at a first time, and to receive, from the first electronic device, a signal corresponding to the measured biological condition;

    using a determining circuit to determine, in response to the signal, whether the subject is adhering to a post-treatment regimen;

    if the first electronic device is unresponsive to the request, using requesting circuit to request a second electronic device associated with the first electronic device to request the first electronic device to measure a delayed biological condition of the subject while the second electronic device is within a communication range of the first electronic device, and to receive, from the second electronic device, a delayed signal corresponding to the measured delayed biological condition and a time difference between the first time and a second time at which the delayed biological condition is measured;

    using the determining circuit to generate, in response to the delayed signal and the time difference, an indication as to whether the subject is adhering to the post-treatment regimen;

    using the risk-determining circuit to update to update the risk in response to the indication; and

    using the fee-calculating circuit to update the fee in response to the updated risk.
