A medical device includes a controller having a microcomputer and sensor for monitoring and collecting data relating to a patient's compliance with a recommended or prescribed regimen for use of the medical device. The controller is battery operated and is recharged by placing the controller into a cradle which has a wall plug for providing power to the cradle and the controller. The cradle also has a modem and phone connection so that as the controller rests in the cradle, compliance data contained within the controller is automatically transmitted by a modem over the phone line connection to a central location. The central location includes a data network for receiving the patient compliance data, processing and storing it in virtual patient files, and one or more web servers host a web site for displaying the patient data in its processed form. Access to the web site is secure and allows a patient to view her own data. Additionally, medical professionals may access the web site not only to view data relating to all of their patients data but also to record data corresponding to patient information obtained during office visits which is then also processed for further display on the web site.
