Patent number: 7515044Abstract: A method for performing context management, said method comprising the steps of: producing a continuous physiologic signal, as detected by a monitoring device; associating at least one unique hardware identifier to said continuous physiologic signal and binding a unique patient identifier to said continuous signal wherein a change in said physiologic signal in which said signal is no longer continuous will cause the unique patient identifier to unbind from said signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2006Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: James P. Welch, Steven D. Baker, Farzin G. Guilak, Anand Sampath, Daniel L. Williams

Patent number: 7382247Abstract: A system for actively monitoring a patient includes at least one body-worn monitoring device that has at least one sensor capable of measuring at least one physiologic parameter and detecting at least one predetermined event. At least one intermediary device is, linked to the body-worn monitoring device by means of a first wireless network and at least one respondent device is linked to said at least one intermediary device by a second wireless network wherein the respondent device is programmed to perform a specified function automatically when the at least one predetermined event is realized. The monitoring device operates to periodically transmit patient status data to the intermediary device but the system predominantly operates in a quiet state, providing very low power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2005Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: James P. Welch, Steven D. Baker, Farzin G. Guilak, Anand Sampath, Daniel L. Williams

Patent number: 7272428Abstract: A method and system for wireless ECG monitoring is provided. An electrode connector, transmitter and receiver operate with existing electrodes and ECG monitors. The electrode connector includes connectors for attaching to disposable or reusable single electrodes. The transmitter transmits the signals from the electrodes to the receiver. The receiver passes the electrode signals to the ECG monitor for processing. ECG monitors used with an electrical conductor, for example wire connections to electrodes, are connected with the receiver, avoiding the purchase of a new monitor. Any legacy ECG monitor, including different ECG monitors, connects with the receiver using the ECG monitor's lead-wires. The ECG monitor operates as if directly connected to the electrodes without the problems discussed above associated with wires running from the ECG monitor to the patient.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2003Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas C. Hopman, Daniel L. Williams, Franco Lodato
