Patent ID: 8529840

Claim:
A method for managing treatment of a particular health condition afflicting a patient through connection with a remote web server system, the method comprising: storing a database of multiple patient data sets in a remote web server system, wherein the multiple patient data sets include patient health condition data received from respective patients; controlling access to patient data at the remote web server system to receive and transmit patient data, so that multiple authorized users have access to the patient data; storing in a nonvolatile memory of a patient local processing device a health management program configured to manage treatment of the particular health condition; accessing the nonvolatile memory to upload into a processor and run the health management program at the local processing device; programming the processor with the uploaded health management program for: controlling a display to issue a prompt for entry of patient health condition data related to the particular health condition, wherein the patient health condition data includes subjective patient symptom data in a predefined drop-down list of subjective patient symptoms that may be individually selected and entered as data with an input device, and medication delivery data, and presenting a visual prompt reminding the patient of a planned activity; receiving patient health condition data related to a particular health condition afflicting a patient, including analyte level data with associated times at which the analyte level data were taken from a patient, and further including subjective patient symptom data with associated times at which the symptoms were experienced from the predefined drop-down list, via the input device; storing the received patient health condition data, including subjective patient symptom data, in the memory of the patient local processing device along with the times associated with the data, so that analyte data may be associated with subjective data at the same or relevant times to determine any possible influences of subjective symptoms on analyte levels; and sending selected patient health condition data stored in the patient local processing device to the remote web server system via a network connection for central storage in the database in the remote web server system, wherein the stored patient data is accessible by multiple authorized users.
