Interesting quote from a company providing such services:

"The Remote Health Monitoring System is the IT backbone that supports HealthFrontier’s entire portfolio of solutions, including the ecg@home™ and the microtel™/ecgAnywhere™. It captures data transmitted by the patient through USB, Bluetooth, or trans-telephonically. The RHMS™ then stores the information in a database, which can be accessed by the patient’s doctor through a web-based interface. Benefits include:

Cloud computing: The RHMS is hosted on a network of servers across the US, which increases reliability and eliminates the need for a large capital investment in on-site hardware and maintenance."

How many other companies provide home ECG monitoring which report over the web? I'm looking but having a hard time finding more. I will update this post as I do.

[UPDATE] Other Home-based ECG monitoring services:
