Method and apparatus for health and disease management combining patient data monitoring with wireless internet connectivity

A computer program, residing on a computer-readable medium, containing instructions for causing a server in signal communication with the internet to:

• Provide a device application and user interface to an internet-enabled wireless web device, wherein the user interface or device application contains instructions for causing the internet-enabled wireless web device to receive data from a generic input/output port;
• Receive a signal corresponding to a health parameter from the internet-enabled wireless web device, the health parameter corresponding to a health, fitness, nutrition or exercise state or condition of a patient;
• Calculate a response based at least in part on the received signal;
• Communicate the response to the internet-enabled wireless web device;
• and
• Display features according to the response.
