Embodiment Construction

[0029] The patient 10 is equipped with one or more wearable monitors, such as a wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor (WCM) 12, and a mobile alarm relay system (MAR) 14 (e.g., a mobile phone, PDA, or connected to a wireless network). other devices) for forwarding alerts generated by the wearable monitor 12 to external entities. It is to be understood that the wearable monitor 12 may be used to monitor any physiological function related to the patient 10 . Both the wearable monitor 12 and the mobile alarm relay system 14 are equipped with body communication units (BCU) 16 , 18 . The BCUs 16, 18 communicate using near-field body-coupled communication techniques based on capacitive coupling.

[0030] The wearable monitor 12 is designed to be power efficient and uses low power consumption techniques so that it can be powered using a relatively small battery 20 . The monitor communicates the monitored physiological condition to a remote monitoring station via external connecti...

Abstract

A wireless network for monitoring a patient (10) comprises at least one wearable monitor (12, 70) including a physiological condition sensor (34, 74) coupled to the patient (10) to sense and communicate data related to one physiological function of the patient (10). A first body communication unit (16, 78) interfaces with the at least one wearable monitor (12, 70) to communicate over the patient (10) utilizing a near field capacitive body coupled protocol. A relay system (14, 50 72) includes a second body communication unit (18, 52, 80) that receives data from the at least one wearable monitor (12, 70) and communicates with the first body communication unit (16, 78) utilizing the near field capacitive body coupled protocol. An external communication unit (22) communicates the data to a remote medical monitoring station via a cell phone network or the internet.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to wireless body networks. The present invention is found to be particularly applicable to alarms relayed from one or more wireless sensors to a cell phone and further to a monitoring and / or alarm center. However, it is to be understood that the present invention also finds application in providing communication between a wireless sensor and a wireless transceiver capable of receiving near-field objects incorporating communication techniques. Background technique [0002] One or more physiological functions of patients are typically monitored while they are receiving medical care in a medical facility. For example, it is a good idea to monitor heart function, pulse, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, etc. Conventionally, such monitoring is accomplished using sensors coupled to various output devices capable of notifying medical personnel of one or more conditions. Alternatively, wireless sensors may be employed, using a wi...
