A physiological monitoring device worn by a user comprises a plurality of physiological sensors 10-14 (e.g. ECG, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate etc.), a processor 18 and a transceiver 17. The processor 18 analyses the measured physiological data and generates a health status indication of at least two levels (e.g. normal and abnormal). The health status indication is then wirelessly transmitted to a remote monitoring station. If necessary some or all of the actual physiological measurements can be transmitted in addition to the health status summary. For example if the health status indication is normal no additional data may be required, whereas if the indication was abnormal further data may be required. Thus the data transmission is selective depending upon the welfare of the user. |
