Abstract: An apparatus for medically monitoring a patient comprises at least one input to receive medical data relating to or received from a patient being monitored and memory to store the received medical data and a received vehicle identifier, which is associated with a vehicle. The apparatus further comprises a communications module and a processor. The processor may be configured to generate patient data, associated with the patient being monitored, comprising the medical data and the vehicle identifier. The processor may also be configured to control the communications module to transmit the patient data to a remote server.

Abstract: A system for medically monitoring a plurality of patients, includes a plurality of medical monitors, each monitor having at least two medical sensors for sensing medical data of a patient, a display for displaying sensed medical data, a wireless transceiver, and processor for processing the sensed medical data and for controlling the operation of at least the display and transceiver. The monitors are arranged to form a short range wireless local area network in which at least one of the monitors is arranged to display not only the medical data sensed by its sensors but also the medical data sensed by the sensors of any other medical monitor in the local area network. The at least one of the monitors has a further wireless transceiver operable to receive the medical data from the local area network and transmit it to a location outside the said local area network.
