A method and apparatus for remote monitoring of a medical patient is described. A sensor device is placed in physical contact with the patient. The sensor communicates with a computing device using Bluetooth or another wireless communication protocol. The computing device then communicates with a remote server that compiles data regarding the patient. The system can gather data such as the patient's temperature, the amount of exercise undertaken by the patient, the amount of sleep by the patient, and whether the patient has physically fallen.
