<p>A communications path (24, 30) is established for relaying physiological data from a particular patient (16) to a selected receiving station (64A..64C) of a data processing system. Specifically, the data is transmitted as an electrical signal to a monitor (12) where the electrical signal is converted into an optical signal. A transmitter (14) receives this optical signal and converts it back to an electrical signal for further transmission, to a central processing unit (62). The central processing unit (62) can be selectively connected, via a telephone line (30, 30', 30"), to at least one of a plurality of transmitters (14), and also, via a different telephone line, to at least one of a plurality of receiving stations (64A..64C). <IMAGE></p> |
