Abstract: A home healthcare system includes a patient monitoring device, a therapy delivery device, a local storage device, and a communication device. The patient monitoring device monitors a physiological condition of a patient in a home or home-like environment. The therapy delivery device holds a prescribed therapy for medical treatment of the patient in the home or home-like environment and selectively delivers a prescribed dosage of the prescribed therapy to the patient. The local storage device stores information associated with the patient. The communication device provides a user interface to the patient and a communication interface with a communication network outside the home or home-like environment to enable establishment of a communication session to/from another communication device associated with another party.
