Cameras (22) are provided at the patient's remote location (10) and at the central station (20) such that the patient (16) and the health administrator are in interactive visual and audio communication. A communications network (12), such as interactive cable television, is used for this purpose. Various medical condition sensing and monitoring equipment are placed in the patient's remote location (10), depending on the needs of the patient (16). The patient's medical condition is measured at the remote location (10) and the resulting data is transmitted to the central station (20) for analysis and display.
