METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR PATIENT MONITORING

摘要

A wireless network as a peer-to-peer network has two types of nodes: sender type nodes and receiver/relay type nodes. The network may be used in a medical instrumentation environment whereby the sender type node may be wireless devices that could monitor physical parameters of a patient. The receiver type node are mobile wireless communicators that are adapted to receive the data from the wireless devices. After an aggregation process involving the received data, each of the node communicators broadcasts or disseminates its most up to date data onto the network. Any other relay communicator node in the network that is within the broadcast range of a broadcasting communicator node would receive the up to date data. Each communicator in the network is capable of receiving and displaying data from the wireless devices.
