Abstract
A method for monitoring and treating a patient with one or more diagnosed conditions includes a few steps. A current assessment of each of the diagnosed conditions is determined in a treatment processing system. The current assessment is based on objective data and subjective data about each of the diagnosed conditions from the patient who is at a remote location and on one or more assessment guidelines for each of the diagnosed conditions. Next, an existing treatment plan for each of the diagnosed conditions is updated using the treatment processing system. The updated treatment plan is based on the existing treatment plan, the current assessment and on one or more treatment guidelines for each of the diagnosed conditions. The updated treatment plan for each of the diagnosed conditions is then transmitted to the patient for application by the patient at the remote location.
