The system includes patient's mobile a device and a health care provider's mobile device, both coupled to a network for providing voice and data transfer there between. A body parameter measuring device is coupleable to the patient's mo - bile device and capable of generating data in response measuring to one or more body parameters, the data being provideable across the network to the health care provider's mobile device as streaming or episodic message data during voice communication between the patient's mobile device and the health care provider's mobile device. The method includes coupling the body parameter measur­ ing device the to patient's mobile device, whereby patient's mobile device concurrently establishes body parameter data communica­ tion path and a voice communication path with the health care provider's mobile device.
