Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a display screen; a probe interface that connects said apparatus to a probe that collects data related to a physiological condition of a first user; a user interface that receives commands from said first user of said apparatus; a data processor comprising a memory that stores information specifying a position on a said first user's body at which a probe connected to said probe interface is to be positioned, said information including a picture of said first user with said probe positioned on said first user's body, wherein said data processor displays a graphic on said display screen indicating a location on said first user's body at which a probe connected to said probe interface is to be placed in response to a command being entered on said user interface by said first user, and wherein said data processor records data from said probe when said probe is positioned as indicated in said graphic; a wireless network interface that connects said apparatus to a computer network, wherein said data processor communicates said recorded data over said computer network; and a camera, wherein said data processor compares a picture taken by said camera of said first user with said probe positioned on said first user's body with said stored picture of said first user with said probe positioned on said first user's body to determine if said probe is correctly positioned on said first user's body and communicates instructions to said first user on how to reposition said probe if said probe is not correctly positioned.
