  • Publication number: 20080293453
    Abstract: A remote ring monitor for a mobile communications device comprises an audio sensor to detect a sound signal emitted by the monitored device and one or more indicators which may provide visual, auditory or tactile alert signals to the user. A plurality of indicators may be used to indicate various different audio signals received. The audio sensor may comprise a microphone, a codec and digital signal processor. In certain embodiments, an encoded ring tone is downloaded to a mobile communications device to be monitored so as to enhance the selectivity of the monitoring device. The audio sensor may be remote from the indicator and the two may be in communication via a radio-frequency link.

  • Publication number: 20070299349
    Abstract: A system and method for communicating data and signals through the Medical Implant Communication Service Band using a repeater or base station in the proximity to an implantable device within a patient is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the device is capable for early detection and monitoring of congestive heart failure in a patient. Impedance measurements, or other health parameters depending on the type of implantable device or sensor used, are sent using a bi-directional low-power radio operating in the MICS band to a nearby base station which may provide signal processing and analysis. The base station may have an interface to one or more communications networks to connect to a remote location. The system and method of the present invention permits a healthcare professional to monitor an ambulatory patient's condition at a remote location and to program the implanted device.
