Abstract: A medical monitoring system that brings the hospital-campus telemetry experience to the patient home. This system is designed to enable effective step-down patient care in the home setting while providing the patient with the freedom to go anywhere and remain “logically” tethered to the system. The system achieves this by being distributed in nature, globally accessible, highly scalable, with near real-time concurrent reporting and analysis of multiple physiological parameters, and making this information real-time accessible to healthcare practitioners.

Abstract: A cost-effective, lightweight, durable, and high-quality Holter cardiac monitor with extensions enabling a single device to also provide loop recorder and event recorder functions. The system provides near real-time patient monitoring, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, anytime, anywhere, and is always ON. The patient worn device is one component of a complete system. The device portion of the system combines ease of use, excellent battery life, low cost, and the best features of telementry, Holter recorders, and event/loop recorders while eliminating the hassles of hookup, lost/overwritten data, and user intervention required to send in data.
