When providing a cost-efficient remote patient monitoring and/or education system, a home-end device (HED) (12) is coupled to a central server (14) using a communication link over PSTN line or the like. Educational audio/video (AN) content is delivered to the patient on a storage medium (18) for playback via a media player (20, 38) in the HED (12). The server (14) provides keys to the HED (12) at predefined times to permit the HED (12) to display a scheduled video segment stored on the storage medium (18) to the patient at the scheduled time. The patient answers survey questions, and patient responses are transmitted over the PSTN line to the server for review by a clinician or doctor, who may be present at the server (14) or at a remote terminal (16) coupled to the server (14). Additionally, one or more patient monitoring devices (22) are coupled to the HED (12), and the HED (12) transmits monitored conditions of the patient to the central server (14) over the communication link for evaluation by the clinician or doctor.
