The invention provides a system that determines if a patient has Metabolic Syndrome, and in response provides a disease-management program that helps reduce medical risks associated with this malady. The system features a device configured to collect glucose information and blood pressure information, and then transmit this information to a central computer system. The system also includes a database configured to receive triglyceride information and cholesterol information from an external blood test, and a central computer system featuring: 1) a communication interface configured to communicate with the device to receive glucose and blood pressure information and with the database to receive triglyceride and cholesterol information; 2) a user interface configured to accept patient information; and 3) a processor configured to operate an algorithm that processes the glucose, blood pressure, triglyceride, cholesterol, and patient information to determine if the patient has Metabolic Syndrome. |
