| Interesting quote from a company providing such services: "The Remote Health Monitoring System is the IT backbone that supports HealthFrontier’s entire portfolio of solutions, including the ecg@home™ and the microtel™/ecgAnywhere™. It captures data transmitted by the patient through USB, Bluetooth, or trans-telephonically. The RHMS™ then stores the information in a database, which can be accessed by the patient’s doctor through a web-based interface. Benefits include: Cloud computing: The RHMS is hosted on a network of servers across the US, which increases reliability and eliminates the need for a large capital investment in on-site hardware and maintenance." http://www.healthfrontier.com/rhms.php How many other companies provide home ECG monitoring which report over the web? I'm looking but having a hard time finding more. I will update this post as I do. [UPDATE]
Other Home-based ECG monitoring services: Medtronic CareLink: http://www.medtronic.com/your-health/heart-failure/device/ca... [UPDATE]

The company I was most impressed with was http://www.halomonitoring.com . The device seems to be designed well and the monitoring services (online portal for caregivers or family members) are impressive, comparatively.
There's kind of a sea change happening with home health monitoring -- from the "I've fallen and can't get up" devices to more robust and interactive solutions. GE recently bought a company that provides institutional monitoring equipment and services.
Lemme know if you want the full report :)
