<p>A central monitoring system (11) coupled to a telecommunications system (13) generates questions concerning the health condition of a patient for the patient to answer using the keys of a telephone system or by speaking the correct response, and stores answers to the questions for later retrieval. The central monitoring system can include a DTMF modem (23) decoder for receiving and decoding DTMF tones generated by the patient using the touch-tone phones and transmitted to the central monitoring system. The DTMF tones represent the health condition of the patient. A voice generator (22) is coupled to a computer processor and generates voice output under the control of the computer processor. The voice output is transmitted to the touch-tone telephone. A database (24) is coupled to the computer processor for storing record reflecting the health condition of the patient and also storing questions concerning this health condition of the patient.</p> |
