The system comprises a network computer system (50) and associated with the network computer system (50) a first patient-specific database and a second condition-specific database. Remote from the network computer system (50) there are provided plural patient electronic data collectors (10), each for collecting patient data relevant to a particular patient's medical condition. Associated with each patient electronic data collector (10), there is a communicator (40) for communicating with an entrypoint to the network computer system (50) to enable transfer of said patient data to the first patient-specific database and to the second condition-specific database. The system includes a first secure access gateway permitting access to the first patient-specific database in response to a first user authorisation command and a second secure access gateway permitting access to the second condition-specific database in response to a second user authorisation command. |
