Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for remotely monitoring the health of an ambulatory patient. As described herein, an ambulatory patient may interact with a monitoring device that is located at the patient's home. The monitoring device may ask the patient to provide responses to health-related questions or requests for physiological characteristics and may upload the responses. A health care professional may then use the responses to evaluate the health of the patient. A set of firmware instructions stored on the monitoring device may cause the monitoring device to perform these functions. The monitoring device may download a prompt that is associated with at least one instruction in the set of firmware instructions. The prompt may cause the patient monitoring device to execute the at least one instruction in the set of firmware instructions to gather information relating to a patient.
