Abstract: An infant cardiac and apnea home monitoring system, which provides audible, visual, and other auxiliary sensory alarms and also includes the ability to transmit an encrypted signal to an Emergency Message Retrieval Unit (EMRU), which in itself contains audible, visual, and touch sensory alarms. The ability of the Personal Home Baby Monitor (PHBM) to identify when an infant's heart or respiratory rate is not within the pre-set parameters will result in the activation of an alarm state Once the PHBM has entered an alarm state, the base unit will trigger all available alerts, including the simultaneous transmission of a low frequency enable and a high frequency modulated signal, from the base unit to the EMRU. The EMRU upon successfully decoding and validation of the signal will trigger its sensory alarms.
