A system and method for computer enabled network patient management of medical devices used in chronic disease management. Utilizing web site and push alert notification of alert level physiologic data derived via analysis of continuous stream wireless data transmissions from a patient, a full cycle improvement over existing modalities is achieved. Proxy and medical device user integration and access is enabled to achieve further contribution to the technical advantages of the system.

Medical device systems implemented network scheme for remote patient management

An external physiologic or implanted device monitor/controller ('monitor') designed to be attached to the body, as for example, to the skin of the patient. The monitor is designed to detect the therapeutic outputs actually produced by the implanted medical device. Having knowledge of the operation of the implanted medical device, the monitor may then deduce, or decode, the physiologic conditions and/or devices conditions sensed by the implanted medical device. The monitor is then able to perform an action appropriate to the sensed condition and the specific implementation.
