COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE HEALTH STATUS OF A PATIENT, COMMUNICATION DEVICE, SENSOR DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

This invention provides a communication system for monitoring the health status of a patient, a communication device and a sensor device for monitoring the health status of a patient and a method of monitoring the health status of a patient. The communication system comprises a communication device and a sensor device, the communication device comprising a first communication interface for communication with the sensor device and comprising a second communication interface for communication with a health care center, the communication device being able to generate a warning message upon failure of either the first communication interface or the second communication interface, wherein -the generation of a warning message is prevented if the failure of the first communication interface begins and ends during a first time interval and/or -the generation of a warning message is prevented if the failure of the second communication interface begins and ends during a third time interval and/or -the communication device comprises a detection device for detecting a critical or non-critical health status, and the generation of a warning message is prevented if both -the duration of failure of the second communication interface is -shorter than a second time interval and -a non-critical health status is detected.
