Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for a wirelesshealth monitoring system for interactively monitoring a disease or healthcondition of a patient (38) by connecting an internet-enabled wireless webdevice ("WWD") (12) to a health monitoring device (11) which may be a medicaldevice or other health related device such as an exercise machine. The WWD(12) may be connected to the health monitoring device directly by a wiredconnection (42) to a generic input/output device port of the WWD (12) using anoptional adaptor if necessary. Alternatively, the WWD (12) may be wirelesslyconnected (16) to the health-monitoring device, such as via an infrared orradio frequency connection, including using protocols such as Bluetooth or802.11. The wireless connection (16) may also employ an adaptor if necessary.The user may also input data to the WWD (12) manually, such as by a keypad,keyboard, stylus, or optionally by voice command (36). The health related datais transmitted from the WWD (12) to a server (37) using standard internetprotocols. The server (37) calculates a response using a software programwhich may include an algorithm or artificial intelligence system, and mayfurther provide for review by a physician or health specialist. The user mayinteract with the server (37). For example, the server (37) transmits aresponse to the WWD (12), and the user may answer the response or provideother information.
