Abstract:
An interactive home treatment system and method is disclosed. Patient data is collected via a handheld device and stored in a database. The data may be related to self-treatments, symptoms, or patient behavior. The data are analyzed with an analytic tool and the analysis is used to generate a message that is transmitted to a treating health care professional or to the patient, or both. A set of predetermined rules may be applied to the data. The rules may be modified by the treating health care professional, the patient, or both. The handheld device, the database, and the analytic tool may be web-enabled to facilitate communication from virtually anywhere.
