Abstract
A vital-signs patch for a patient monitoring system that includes a housing containing a sensor that makes physiological measurements of a patient, a transmitter, a receiver, a memory, and a processor. The processor periodically takes a measurement from the sensor, converts the measurement to a data record, and stores the data record in the memory. Upon receipt of a signal from another device, the processor retrieves at least a portion of the data record, converts the retrieved portion of the data record to a vital-sign signal, and causes the transmitter to transmit the vital-sign signal to the other device.
Claims9
A vital-signs patch for a patient monitoring system, the patch comprising:
- a patch housing configured for wearing by a patient, the housing containing:
- at least one sensor configured to make physiological measurements of a patient;
- a transmitter configured to transmit signals to another device;
- a receiver configured to receive signals from the other device;
- a memory configured to store executable instructions and data records;
- and
- a processor operably connected to the sensor, transmitter, receiver, and memory, and configured to execute the instructions;
- wherein the processor is configured to periodically take at least one measurement from the sensor, convert the measurement to a data record, and store the data record in the memory;
- and
- wherein the processor is further configured to receive signals from the other device via the receiver and in response to receipt of the signals:
- retrieve at least a portion of the data record,
- configure the retrieved portion of the data record into a vital-sign signal, and
- cause the transmitter to transmit the vital-sign signal to the other device.
