Abstract

A system for using telemetry data based on a patient habit information includes patient monitoring device coupled to a patient monitoring device that has a unique patient ID, and acquires patient information selected from of at least one of, a patient'"'"'s activities, behaviors and habit information. The patient monitoring device includes ID circuitry that includes ID storage, a communication system which reads and transmits the unique ID from the ID storage, a power source and a pathway system to route signals through the circuitry. The telemetry system communicates with the patient monitoring device. The telemetry system includes a database of patient ID'"'"'s. Telemetry data is analyzed using the telemetry system based on at least one of, patient'"'"'s activities, behaviors and habit information. Personalized information about the patient is created.
