A user-based monitoring system includes a remote user-based subsystem with at least one display and at least two microprocessor-based units in communication with each other. The microprocessor-based units are selected from a data management unit, a personal computer, a handheld device or a user monitoring device. The subsystem is configured to facilitate collection of user-related data. The system also has at least one central server remotely located from and configured for two-way communication with the user-based subsystem so that it can receive and deliver signal communications to and from the user-based subsystem. The system also has at least one authorized user computer remotely located from, and configured for two-way signal communication with, the central server to receive user-related data collected by a remote user-based subsystem and allow an authorized user to communicate with the central server. The system is suited, amongst others, for monitoring remotely the health of a system user.
What is claimed is: 1. A method of monitoring health-related information of a user, comprising the steps of: (a) providing at least one subsystem to the user, the subsystem including: (i) at least one display; (ii) a plurality of units, wherein a first unit of said plurality of units comprises a mi

The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: communicating between the authorized individual and the subsystem via the server and the second communication channel. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the monitoring device comprises one or more of: a blood glucose monitor; a peak flow meter; a blood pressure monitor; a pulse monitor; and a body temperature monitor. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the display forms a part of at least one of the monitoring devices. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: collecting the user-related data through buttons, keys or switches. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the display forms a part of at least one of the units. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein (a) the subsystem includes a third of the units in communications with the first unit through a third communication channel and (b) at least two of the units have a built-in display. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: displaying a pictorial representation of the monitoring related information on at least one of the units. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the units has a receptacle for receiving a removable memory. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: monitoring at least one of blood glucose levels, blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, food intake, and medication dosage with the subsystem. 11. A method of monitoring heath-related information of a user, comprising: (a) providing at least one remote user-based subsystem including: (i) at least two microprocessor-based units comprising (A) at least one of (1) a data management unit, (2) a personal computer, and (3) a hand held device and (B) a health monitoring device; and (ii) a memory, said memory comprising an updatable removable inserted program cartridge; (b) establishing communication between the microprocessor-based units; (c) using program instructions to generate monitoring related information on a display and to facilitate collection of user-related data in response to the displayed information; (d) providing at least one central server remotely located from the remote user-based subsystem; (e) establishing two-way communication between the central server and remote user-based subsystem to receive and deliver signal communications; (f) providing at least one computer for use by an authorized individual riser remotely located from, and configured for two-way signal communication with the central server, wherein one of the two-way signal communications includes statistical data; (g) communicating between the authorized individual computer and the central server in connection with the collected user-related data; and (h) receiving at the central server user-related data collected by the remote user-based subsystem; (i) generating condition trends of the user based on the communicated data. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the signal communication includes query information downloaded from the server to the subsystem. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the first unit comprises a data management unit and the second unit is a plug-in unit of the data management unit. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: communicating an authorization code from the authorized individual to the server, wherein the authorization code identifies the authorized individual as having permission to access the collected user-related data. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: using the collected user-related data to generate at least one report in a human readable form that is standardized. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the report includes at least one of graphs and icons. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the report is generated periodically. 18.
