         1 . A system comprising:
 a monitoring device used to monitor data from a patient;   a dispensing device having the capability of performing actions on a patient;   a medical digital assistant enabled to receive data from the monitoring device and the dispensing device;   wherein the medical digital assistant is enabled to coordinate data retrieval, storage, communication, processing, analysis, and reporting;   wherein the medical digital assistant is enabled to direct the monitoring device to acquire data and direct the dispensing device to perform an action; and   wherein the data monitored includes monitoring blood pressure, monitoring activity levels, monitoring oxygen levels, monitoring weight, and monitoring EKG.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a server provides secure links for data transfer among the monitoring device, dispensing device, and medical digital assistant. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the server includes significant data storage sufficient to provide long-term secure and redundant data storage for multiple devices and patients. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the server is accessible worldwide, anytime, from anywhere, and to any authorized user via Internet, telephone, cellular, or radio networks. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a dashboard provides a graphical user interface to monitor, manage, maintain, or control data or request actions. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the dashboard provides a graphical user interface via a personal computing device such as a notebook PC, desktop PC, netbook PC, medical digital assistant, tablet PC, smart-phone, or personal digital assistant. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the dashboard includes summary and detailed data displays such as alarms for patient status and graphs of data parameters. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein application software is provided to coordinate storage, compression, transmission, analysis, and reporting of data. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the patient is a human child or adult. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the patient is a non-human animal. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the monitoring device transmits data based on a commercial specification such as PCI Express, USB, WiMAX, LTE, WiFi, WWAN, WLAN, LAN, PAN, WPAN, 2.5G, 3G, 4G, Bluetooth, USB, POTs, Ethernet, and WPAN RF interfaces. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein more than one medical digital assistant is supported to enable simultaneous support for one or more patients and devices. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the medical digital assistant is a commercially available portable computing device such as a notebook PC, tablet PC, smart-phone, or personal digital assistant. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein blood pressure is monitored with a blood pressure monitoring device at least three times per day. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein activity level is monitored continuously throughout the day with a pedometer. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein oxygen level is monitored for at least three minutes a day with an oximeter. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein weight is monitored once every day with a scale. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein EKG is monitored continuously every day with a remote EKG sensor. 
     
     
         19 . A system comprising:
 a monitoring device used to monitor data from a patient;   a dispensing device having the capability of performing actions on a patient;   a medical digital assistant enabled to receive data from the monitoring device and the dispensing device;   wherein the medical digital assistant is enabled to coordinate data retrieval, storage, communication, processing, analysis, and reporting;   wherein the medical digital assistant is enabled to direct the monitoring device to acquire data and direct the dispensing device to perform an action; and   wherein the data monitored includes monitoring basal body temperature and sleep behavior.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the data is correlated to determine an ovulation window.
