An apparatus for medically monitoring a plurality of people comprises a plurality of portable medical monitors (Mn) each having a short range wireless transceiver (28), and a portable user interface (2) having a short range wireless transceiver (64). The medical monitors (Mn) and the user interface (2) are arranged to form a short range wireless local area network (LAN) in which the user interface and the monitors are operable remotely, but within the said short range, of one another. The plurality of portable medical monitors each have at least two medical sensors (Sm) for sensing medical data and are operable to transmit to the user interface, via the LAN, the sensed medical data. The portable user interface (2) has display means for displaying the said medical data of the plurality of monitors to allow the user of the interface to monitor the medical conditions of the monitored people. That allows the user to move about and engage with a monitored person whilst retaining the ability to monitor the others. A communications device (4) is co-operable with at least the user interface to receive the said medical data, and to transmit the received medical data to a remote location at a range from the communications apparatus which is large compared to the said short range. The device may be a cell phone combined in one module with the user interface. |
