first embodiment
[0051] A first embodiment shows the data 702 flowing to a research and development department 719. It is anticipated that having access to large and highly relevant databases of patient physiology and device performance, will be a valuable source of information in the design of new devices.
second embodiment
[0052] A second embodiment shows the data 702 flowing to the product planning department 729. Knowing how devices are programmed, device longevity, and potential failure modes will be usefully in planning new features and new devices. This is information which is very valuable and available from data 702.
third embodiment
[0053] A third embodiment shows the data 702 flowing to the department responsible for post market surveillance 739. Many governmental entities, e.g., countries, require manufacturers to perform post-market surveillance on their medical devices to understand device performance and failure modes and mechanisms. Having this data available through the server 405 will allow more accurate, timely, and complete information capture; all of which is highly valuable. Indeed, for this and other uses, the particularly high volume of highly relevant data in a full cycle system distinguishes this invention from others.

Abstract
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.
