Abstract
A patient interface system for collecting and transferring data from a patient to a remote monitoring system, as well as methods for its use, are provided. The subject system uses: (a) a data collection device with a sensor and an interrogation device; (b) a processing device for processing the collected data; and (c) a communication device for transferring said collected data from the interface system to a remote monitoring system and receiving instructional data from a remote monitoring system. The subject system finds use in the remote monitoring of a variety of conditions, particularly in the remote monitoring of cardiac associated diseases. In addition, the sensor is a scale either programmed not to activate the patient interface system if it measures a weight below or above certain set weights or not to send measurements to the remote monitoring if it measures a weight below or above certain set weights.
