In one embodiment, a system, method, and apparatus are provided which enable remote monitoring and control of a patient's wearable medical device. The wearable medical device may collect bodily data that characterizes their condition and transmits such data to an electronic device viewable by a remote party such as a physician, close family member or friend, or other party communicatively linked in a treatment network. Considering the transmitted bodily data relative to predetermined threshold conditions as a guide, the remote party may cause the wearable electronic device to dispense therapeutic treatments into the patient's body in an effort to immediately facilitate treatment of the patient's condition regardless of geographic proximity. The wearable medical device may be also configured to automatically transmit alerts to electronic devices of remote parties, triggering treatment and other forms of aid in the event of an emergency. |
