<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>A monitoring device for monitoring the physiological condition of a patient <br/>(1) on a continuous basis, which includes a transmitter unit (2) adapted to <br/>attach to a patient so as to be in contact with the skin of a patient, a <br/>corresponding receiver unit (5). The transmitter unit includes a strap or belt <br/>(3) adapted to attach to or around a body part of a patient. A plurality of <br/>sensors (E) are mounted to the belt for monitoring a plurality of patient <br/>physiological parameters, including at least the patient''s skin impedance, <br/>heart rate and aspects of the heart beat. The sensors are connected to a <br/>microcontroller (8) which processes the signals and which is linked to a <br/>wireless transmitter (9). A portable receiver unit is adapted to receive and <br/>process the signal from the transmitter. The receiver unit includes a display <br/>(14) for data relating to the patient and preferably an alarm (15).<br/> |
