A system for monitoring a patient's vital signs that includes: (1) a body-worn sensor unit containing a processor programmed to determine blood pressure information from the monitored vital signs and transmit that information via a wireless transceiver; (2) a monitor; and (3) a video display component. The monitor includes a display device, a wireless transceiver for receiving the blood pressure information, and a processor programmed to format that received information for display and to display a user interface for generating control information for the video display component. The video display component includes a display device, an interface for connecting to the external monitor interface, a computer network interface, a video input interface, and a processor programmed to respond to the control information from the external monitor by selecting whatever one or more of the monitor interface, the computer interface, and the video interface will provide information to be displayed. |
