A system and method for integrating qualitative assessment into remote patient management through a visual analog scale is provided. A query is associated to a physiological condition. A visual analog scale includes a linear gradient and, at each end, descriptors for a range of subjective and continuous responses to the query. Assessment data for a patient is obtained. A medical device of the patient is interrogated and stored data is received. The query is displayed with the visual analog scale. An answer to the query includes a point selected between the ends of and along the linear gradient. A distance of the point from one end of the linear gradient is determined. The distance is quantified as a fixed value in proportion to the distance. A risk to the patient is assessed. The stored data and the fixed value are analyzed against the physiological condition to represent patient wellness.
