The invention provides a system for monitoring a patient that includes a sensor configured to drape around the patient's neck. The sensor features an impedance sensor for measuring fluids, an ECG sensor for measuring cardiac activity, and a first wireless transceiver for transmitting this information. Integrated with the sensor is a computer, featuring a second wireless transceiver, video output system, and a computer processing unit (CPU). The CPU is configured to receive control signals from the first wireless transceiver that control a software program and the information related to fluids and cardiac activity. The software program renders a graphical user interface that displays the information through the video output system. The system also includes a conventional television set or mobile device that interfaces to the computer through the video output system and renders the graphical user interface. |

1. A system for monitoring a patient, comprising:
a sensor configured to drape around the patient's neck, the sensor comprising an impedance sensor for measuring impedance signals from the patient, an ECG sensor for measuring ECG signals from the patient, a motion sensor for measuring motion signals from the patient, and a first wireless transceiver for transmitting information related to the impedance, ECG, and motion signals; and a computer comprising a second wireless transceiver, video output system, and a CPU, the second wireless transceiver configured to receive the impedance, ECG, and motion signals and process them to determine physiological and exercise information, and the CPU configured to render a graphical user interface that guides the patient through a pre-determined exercise routine and ports the physiological and exercise information, or new information calculated therefrom, through the video output system so it can be displayed on a video display. |
