Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for a wireless
health monitoring system for interactively monitoring a disease or health condition
of a patient by connecting an internet-enabled wireless web device ("WWD") to a
digital camera or other health monitoring device. The WWD may accommodate a memory
device for enhanced storage capabilities that may be particularly pertinent to
data-intensive tasks such as the handling and storage of images or other visual
data. The health related data is transmitted from the WWD to a server using standard
internet protocols and may be integrated with various operating systems for handheld
or wireless devices, especially those with enhanced capabilities for handing images
and visual data.
