| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a patient monitoring system (30) which provides enhanced functional capability relative to known systems and provides a wireless communication link between a patient monitoring device (32), worn by a patient, and a local hub (34). The patient monitoring system (30) in accordance with the present invention is adapted to monitor various patient physiological characteristics, such as blood pressure, pulse rate, blood glucose, weight, pulse oximetry and others. The data from the patient monitoring device (32) is wirelessly transmitted to a local hub (34), which, in turn, is configured to automatically transfer the data to a remote server (38), for example, over a public or private communications network. The server can be configured as a web portal to selectively allow access to such patient physiological data by designated third parties, such as physicians, clinicians, relatives and the patient themselves. The system can provide enhanced functionality relative to known systems, and allows alarms and trends of the physiological data to be selectively generated. |
