Abstract
A health delivery service includes a base terminal for self-testing with a remote on-line connection to a Medical Management Center (MMC). A customer provides biological fluids to the base terminal for analysis. The base terminal sends test data to the MMC. The MMC processes and evaluates the results in real time and keeps a personal medical data file for each customer. The MMC communicates with the customer, providing medical assessments and advice on health management. The health delivery system allows customers to manage their own health at home or in another environment without disturbing their daily activity.
