  • Publication number: 20090005016
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide devices and methods that allow a continuous connection to be maintained between a medical device that is capable of communicating over a cellular network and a sensor network. Medical devices that are capable of communicating over a cellular network represent one form of assistive technologies for the home that can allow senior citizens to remain at home for longer, improve the quality of life, and provide more cost-effective solutions than residential care. Removing a SIM card (subscriber identity module, a removable smart card for cell phones that securely stores the service-subscriber key used to identify a mobile phone) from a cellular communication device requires the device to be powered down. However, powering down a medical device can result in a loss of important data.
