A system for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care is presented. A medical device adapted to be implanted for a patient collects and regularly records a device measures set containing individual device measures. A remote client processes voice feedback into a set of quality of life measures relating to patient self-assessment indicators. A database collects the identified collected device measures set, and the quality of life measures set into a patient care record. A server periodically receives the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set from the medical device and the remote client, and analyzes the identified collected device measures set, the quality of life measures set, and the collected device measures sets in the patient care record for the individual patient relative to other collected device measures sets stored in the database to determine a patient status indicator.

1. A system for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care, comprising:a medical device adapted to be implanted for the individual patient collecting and regularly recording a device measures set comprising individual device measures which each relate to patient information; a remote client processing voice feedback into a set of quality of life measures which each relate to patient self-assessment indicators, the voice feedback having been spoken by the individual patient into a remote client substantially contemporaneous to the collection of an identifiable device measures set; a database collecting the set of measures from the medical device by storing the collected device measures set, the identified collected device measures set, and the quality of life measures set into a patient care record for the individual patient within a database organized to store one or more patient care records which each comprise a plurality of the collected device measures sets, the identified collected device measures set, and the quality of life measures set; a server periodically receiving the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set respectively from the medical device and the remote client, and analyzing the identified collected device measures set, the quality of life measures set, and one or more of the collected device measures sets in the patient care record for the individual patient relative to one or more other collected device measures sets stored in the database server to determine a patient status indicator. 2. A system according to claim 1, the remote client further comprising:an audio prompter requesting a quality of life measure via a voice prompt played on the remote client to the individual patient. 3. A system according to claim 2, further comprising:a written script comprising a plurality of quality of life measure requests stored within the remote client; and the audio prompter further comprising a speech synthesizer module retrieving each quality of life request from the stored written script with each such retrieved quality of life measure request comprising one such voice prompt and synthesizing speech for playback from the retrieved quality of life request. 4. A system according to claim 2, further comprising:pre-recorded speech comprising a plurality of quality of life measure requests stored within the remote client; and the audio prompter further comprising a playback module retrieving each quality of life request from the stored pre-recorded speech with each such retrieved quality of life measure request comprising one such voice prompt and playing the pre-recorded speech from the retrieved quality of life request. 5. A system according to claim 1, the remote client further comprising:a speech engine recognizing individual words in the spoken voice feedback and translating the individual spoken words into written individual words. 6. A system according to claim 5, further comprising:a voice grammar stored within the remote client, the voice grammar comprising a plurality of speech phrases expressed in a natural language, each speech phrase corresponding to a normalized quality of life measure; the speech engine further comprising: a parser parsing the written individual words into tokens; and a lexical analyzer performing a lexical analysis of the parsed tokens in accordance with the voice grammar to identify one such normalized quality of life measure. 7. A system according to claim 5, further comprising:a vocabulary stored within the remote client, the vocabulary comprising the written individual words; and the speech engine further comprising a lookup module performing a lookup of the written individual words from the vocabulary stored within the remote client. 8. A system according to claim 1, the remote client further comprising:wherein the remote client comprises at least one of a personal computer, an audio interface, and a telephony instrument. 9. A method for providing feedback to an individual patient for automated remote patient care, comprising:regularly recording a set of device measures comprising individual device measures which each relate to patient information by the medical device adapted to be implanted for the individual patient; collecting the device measures set from the medical device; processing voice feedback into a set of quality of life measures which each relate to patient self-assessment indicators, the voice feedback having been spoken by the individual patient into a remote client substantially contemporaneous to the collection of an identifiable device measures set; storing the collected device measures set, the identified collected device measures set, and the quality of life measures set into a patient care record for the individual patient within a database organized to store one or more patient care records which each comprise a plurality of the collected device measures sets, the identified collected device measures set, and the quality of life measures set; periodically receiving the identified collected device measures set and the quality of life measures set respectively from the medical device and the remote client; and analyzing the identified collected device measures set, the quality of life measures set, and one or more of the collected device measures sets in the patient care record for the individual patient relative to one or more other collected device measures sets stored in the database server to determine a patient status indicator. 10. A method according to claim 9, the operation of processing voice feedback further comprising:requesting a quality of life measure via a voice prompt played on the remote client to the individual patient. 11. A method according to claim 10, the operation of requesting a quality of life measure further comprising:storing a written script comprising a plurality of quality of life measure requests within the remote client; retrieving each quality of life request from the stored written script with each such retrieved quality of life measure request comprising one such voice prompt; and synthesizing speech for playback from the retrieved quality of life request. 12. A method according to claim 10, the operation of requesting a quality of life measure further comprising:storing pre-recorded speech comprising a plurality of quality of life measure requests within the remote client; retrieving each quality of life request from the stored pre-recorded speech with each such retrieved quality of life measure request comprising one such voice prompt; and playing the pre-recorded speech from the retrieved quality of life request. 13. A method according to claim 9, the operation of processing voice feedback further comprising:recognizing individual words in the spoken voice feedback; and translating the individual spoken words into written individual words. 14.
