This invention provides new systems and methods for controlling the operation of medical devices. Devices collect sensor data, relay such data as streaming data via a secure internet connection, but also collect such data locally as cache data. When events occur, such as an offline event, the devices also relay such cache data. Device data is received by a network data system that analyzes the data and controls operation of the devices and other network devices based on such analysis. The medical devices can comprise multiple zones performing different data collection functions and being subject to different data relay rules/processes. The system can segregate protected health information from commercial users that are allowed to access certain analytical data. In aspects, the system interacts with third party databases, e.g., customer relationship management systems, in generating analytical data. In aspects, machine learning processes are employed to improve the operation of such systems.
