Universally adaptable module for defibrillator monitors

An adaptable healthcare module, comprising:

• a power supply coupled to one or more elements of the adaptable healthcare module;
• a processor coupled to the power supply, a memory, a coupling control module, a communicative coupling and a healthcare coupling;
• the memory configured to store at least one of patient data and physiological parameter data;
• an interface that is configured to mechanically, selectively engage with a first healthcare monitoring device such that the adaptable healthcare module is physically attached to the first healthcare monitoring device when in a coupled state;
• the communicative coupling configured to facilitate communication with at least one of the first healthcare monitoring device and a second healthcare monitoring device;
• and
• the healthcare coupling, the healthcare coupling communicatively coupled to the coupling control module and configured to at least one of receive physiological parameter data from one or more physiological sensors and cause the received physiological parameter data to be stored in the memory;
• the coupling control module configured to:
• transmit at least a portion of one or both of patient data and the physiological parameter data to the first healthcare monitoring device;
• cause the adaptable healthcare module to continue to collect physiological parameter data from the one or more physiological sensors when the adaptable healthcare module is decoupled from the first healthcare monitoring device, the collected physiological parameter data stored in the memory;
• and
• transmit at least a portion of one or both of the patient data and the stored physiological parameter data to the second healthcare monitoring device.
