Medical subject monitoring systems

摘要

This invention relates to multi-channel, subject monitoring systems and especially to such medical monitoring systems allowing the monitored subject freedom of movement. Many types of sensors may be employed and differently arranged. The outputs of the sensors are suitably amplified and conditioned to provide the necessary voltage levels for the multiplexers in the analog-to-digital (A/D) converters. The measured phenomena are displayed at a remote monitoring and control station. The entire system includes a bio-belt linked by optically coupled transmission and reception links to a data acquisition unit (DAU) having a central station function of controlling and displaying the output from the bio-belt.
