  • Patent number: 11971845
    Abstract: An encapsulation block for a digital signal processing (DSP) block. The encapsulation block includes DSP block having an input terminal, an output terminal, and an input clock. The encapsulation block also includes pacing control network operatively connected with the input terminal, the output terminal, and the input clock of the DSP block. The input terminal of the DSP block is configured to receive a samples-in data stream inputted at a predefined clock period defined by the input clock. The output terminal of the DSP block is configured to receive a samples-out data stream outputted at a predefined paced parameter. The pacing control network is configured to control data flow at the samples-in data stream and the samples-out data stream independently of the DSP block.

  • Patent number: 8255041
    Abstract: A wireless monitoring system and, more particularly, a wireless monitoring system for detecting and transmitting physiological data. The present invention detects physiological data relating to a patient's cardiac activity and respiration rate and transmits the data to a remote base station via telemetry. The base station processes the data so that the data can be display by an ECG monitor.

  • Patent number: 7515043
    Abstract: A method for communicating data using at least one network linking at least one respondent device with at least one monitoring device, said method comprising the steps of: continuously measuring at least one physiologic parameter for purposes of detecting a predetermined event using said at least one monitoring device; operating said network in an off state in which said network is off except for the periodic transmission of patient status data while said network is in a first operative state wherein said predetermined event has not occurred and transmitting said measured data along said at least one said network in a second state when said predetermined event has occurred.

  • Patent number: 7515044
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7403808
    Abstract: A cardiac monitoring system that detects electrical signals from a patient's heart and wirelessly transmits the signals digitally to a remote base station via telemetry. The base station converts the digital signals back to analog electrical signals that can be read by an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitor.

  • Patent number: 7382247
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7272428
    Abstract: 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.
