Abstract: A system for monitoring a patient's vital signs that features a vital-sign monitor including sensors for measuring from the patient at least one of the following vital-sign data: O2 saturation, blood pressure, electro-cardiogram, respirator rate, and blood glucose level. The system also includes a global positioning system that determines location-based data. A wireless transmitter, in electrical contact with the vital-sign monitor and global positioning system, receives the vital-sign and location-based data and wirelessly transmits these data through a conventional wireless network. A gateway software piece receives and processes the data from the wireless network and stores these data in a computer memory associated with a database software piece. The system also includes an Internet-based user interface that displays the vital sign data for both individual patients and care-providers.

Abstract: A monitoring device, method and system are disclosed herein. The monitoring device is capable of determine when a user's wrist is at rest using a motion sensor disposed within a wrist module that is attached to the user's wrist. When at rest, the monitoring device utilizes a vital sign monitor to determine a plurality of vital signs of the user. The vital sign monitor preferably comprises a light source and photodetector in communication with a pulse-oximetry circuit. The motion sensor is preferably an accelerometer.
