Cloud-based physiological monitoring system

A cloud-based physiological monitoring method comprising:

• generating sensor data generally responsive to a physiological phenomenon of a living being;
• communicating the sensor data to a local medical device;
• transmitting the sensor data from the local medical device to a remote cloud server;
• processing the sensor data at the cloud server so as to derive a plurality of parameters having values responsive to the physiological phenomenon;
• trending the parameters at the cloud server so as to derive a medical index responsive to the parameters, the medical index indicating a medical condition;
• communicating the medical index to the local medical device;
• and
• displaying the medical index on the local medical device.

A cloud-based physiological monitoring system comprising:

• a physiological monitor in remote communications with a cloud server;
• the physiological monitor inputs sensor data responsive to a physiological condition of a user;
• the cloud server is in remote communications with the physiological monitor so as to upload the sensor data;
• the cloud server executes signal processing algorithms so as to derive a physiological parameter from the sensor data;
• the cloud server downloads the physiological parameter to the physiological monitor for display to user.
