The system includes a management site, at least one medical professional site, a patient site, and a computer program operative to facilitate communications between the management site, the medical professional site, and the patient site to provide remote health monitoring. Video images and physiological data of a patient are digitally transmitted from a patient to a remote health care provider over a communications network, typically the Internet.
