Sensor with remote communications capability

摘要

A system and method for monitoring the state of an individual, in which a biological sensor is attached to the individual, and a wireless transmitter is attached to the sensor via a microprocessor. The transmitter transmits any changes in the biological state of the individual to a remote receiver. The remote receiver can be programmed to automatically send an alert to various entities, which can then send assistance.

1. A system for monitoring the physical state of an individual, comprising:
a sensor adapted to monitor a physical parameter of the human or animal, a microprocessor connected to the sensor to process data received from the sensor; a first transmitter connected to the microprocessor for transmitting data sensed by the sensor to a remote location, the microprocessor being programmed to have the first transmitter transmit when the sensor senses a change in the physical parameter; a receiver adapted to receive transmissions from the first transmitter, the receiver being connected to a second transmitter for transmitting data received from the first transmitter to a command center, wherein the receiver contains a computer that determines an alert level based on the transmissions from the first transmitter, and wherein the second transmitter transmits said alert level to the monitoring center.
