Abstract: A system and method for monitoring humans for medical purposes is provided. One method employs a communication network, the communication network including a plurality of network equipment. The method includes monitoring a physiologic event of a patient, then also obtaining other data from the patient, such as sleep data. The data is then displayed on the plurality of network equipment and also transmitted through the communication network so that at least two remotely located care givers can view the sleep data and the physiologic event on the plurality of network equipment. This enables the care givers to adjust a therapy for the patient based on the physiologic event and the other data.

Abstract: The invention is a headset for holding electrodes on the head of a person for measuring the electrical activity of the person's brain. In detail, the invention includes a pair of fittings for attachment about the ears of a person. A first flexible front strap is adapted to fit about the forehead of the person is connected to each fitting. A second flexible strap adapted to fit about the rear of the head of the person is also connected to each fitting. A plurality of sets of flexible members is connected to each fitting and which are adapted to fit over the top portion of the head of the person between the first and second straps. A plurality of electrode mounts are movably mounted to each of the plurality of sets of guide members. The head set's ear fittings also provides a means for holding the lead wires of electrodes placed on a person's face for monitoring such parameters as eye movement and facial muscle activity during routine sleep testing.
