A system for monitoring the use of a home-based medical apparatus providing medical therapy to a patient incorporates communication technology to permit communication from the operated component of the medical apparatus via a cellular network to a Cloud storage site. The operated medical apparatus can report any operational function to the Cloud storage site, which can be accessed by appropriate medical professionals or caregivers by contacting the Cloud storage site through a cellular network. If the medical apparatus is properly configured, the medical professional could change certain operational functions of the medical apparatus through the Cloud by communicating with the medical apparatus directly. Alternatively, a medical caregiver can visit the home-based patient to modify the operation of the medical apparatus. By limiting the number of visits needed to maintain proper operation of the medical apparatus, a medical caregiver can provide services to a larger number of patients.
