Systems and methods are provided for monitoring members of a group and providing coordinated care of the members. Monitoring devices are provided to each of the members which may take periodic health measurements of the member. The health measurement is compared to intervention criteria, which when satisfied, cause one or more interventions to be provided, such as a message sent to a member, a message sent to a health care provider or other interested individual, medical care provided to the member, or other intervention. Monitoring devices may be provided on a subscription basis. Group membership can be dynamic and based on a member's current health measurements. Health measurement information may be provided in reports.

1. A method for managing health comprising: establishing, with the aid of at least one computer, one or more groups, each of which to include a plurality of persons, each group being established based on at least one of a plurality of health-related concerns that is capable of being monitored with respect to a person by a portable monitoring device which is capable of (i) transmitting physiological measurement data obtained from the person related to the at least one of the plurality of health-related concerns for delivery to the at least one computer and (ii) displaying a message transmitted by the at least one computer that is received by the monitoring device;associating, with the aid of the at least one computer, each established group with at least one of the plurality of health-related concerns;assigning, with the aid of the at least one computer, respective persons to an established group based on health-related information of the respective persons relating to the at least one of the plurality of health-related concerns associated with the respective group including initial physiological measurement data obtained from the respective persons satisfying at least one criterion;assigning, with the aid of the at least one computer, a respective monitoring device to respective persons assigned to each respective established group based on the at least one health-related concern with which the respective group is associated;storing in a data storage device accessible by the at least one computer information uniquely identifying each person in each established group;transmitting for delivery to the monitoring device of at least one person in at least one established group, by the at least one computer, a message applicable to the health-related concern related to the at least one established group using the information uniquely identifying the at least one person in the at least one established group and the association of the at least one person with the at least one established group, the message comprising one or more of text, numbers and graphical images of one or more of health related news, health related data, alerts and advertising related to the at least one health-related concern of the at least one established group;receiving, by the at least one monitoring device, the message transmitted by the at least one computer for delivery thereto;displaying, by the at least one monitoring device, the message received by the at least one monitoring device;receiving, over a network, at the at least one computer, respective subsequent physiological measurement data of respective persons in each established group, the respective subsequent physiological measurement data being provided by respective monitoring devices in association with the information uniquely identifying the respective persons in each established group, the respective subsequent data being received at the at least one computer after receipt of the respective initial measurement data of the respective persons;storing the received subsequent physiological measurement data in a storage device accessible by the at least one computer in association with the respective person identified by the received identifying information; andchanging, with the aid of the at least one computer, the group assignment of at least one of the respective persons based on the subsequent physiological measurement data received by the at least one computer of the at least one of the respective persons and the at least one criterion. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying, by the at least one computer, a person in an established group as a candidate for possible intervention based on the received subsequent physiological measurement data of the person and stored information applicable to a health-related concern related to the established group of which the person is a member. 3. The method of claim 2 comprising contacting an identified person or a representative thereof when a determination has been made to intervene with respect to that identified person. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein contacting comprises providing the identified person or representative with an electronically delivered message. 5. The method of claim 3 wherein contacting comprises a person contacting the identified person or representative by telephone. 6. The method of claim 3 wherein contacting comprises a person not a doctor contacting the identified person. 7. The method of claim 3 wherein contacting comprises a health care professional contacting the identified person. 8. The method of claim 2 further comprising the at least one computer automatically determining whether to intervene based on the stored information accessible, by the at least one computer, related to the identified person. 9. The method of claim 2 further comprising reviewing, by a person, stored information accessible by the at least one computer related to the identified person before a determination is made as to whether to intervene.
