Telemetry systems and methods are provided for transferring data between sensor devices and a base station using a local carrier media network, such as AC power lines. A relay module receives sensor data from a sensor, e.g., monitoring a health-related parameter of a patient. The relay module is connected to the local carrier media network and generates carrier media signals including sensor data and an identifier identifying the sensor device and/or the patient. A base station is connected to the local carrier media network for detecting carrier media signals from one or more relay modules. The base station extracts sensor data and associated identifiers from detected carrier media signals. The base station is connected to an electronic network, e.g., the Internet, for transferring sensor data and associated identifiers over the network to a remote server computer for inclusion in a patient database.
