System and method for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care

A method for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care, comprising:

• regularly recording a set of device measures comprising individual device measures which each relate to patient information by the medical device adapted to be implanted for the individual patient;
• collecting the device measures set from the medical device;
• processing voice feedback into a set of quality of life measures which each relate to patient self-assessment indicators, the voice feedback having been spoken by the individual patient into a remote client substantially contemporaneous to the collection of an identifiable device measures set;
• storing the collected device measures set, the identified collected device measures set, and the quality of life measures set into a patient care record for the individual patient within a database organized to store one or more patient care records which each comprise a plurality of the collected device measures sets, the identified collected device measures set, and the quality of life measures set;
• periodically receiving the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set respectively from the medical device and the remote client;
• and
• analyzing the identified collected device measures set, the quality of life measures set, and one or more of the collected device measures sets in the patient care record for the individual patient relative to one or more other collected device measures sets stored in the database server to determine a patient status indicator.
