Abstract: A monitoring system having a device on a person which can process and transmit signals from at least one biosensor and a receiver located close to the patient, which can receive these signals. The receiver, which may be a portable telephone, can process the signals and provide an indication of the parameter(s) being monitored and may also, or as an alternative, forward the received signals to a remote monitor. The monitoring system may further include a device for indicating when the transmitter is not receiving a signal from the transmitter and can also include a device so that when a parameter reaches a critical care level, a warning signal is given. The monitoring system is such that the person being monitored is effectively not limited to remaining within a required distance of a fixed part of the system.

Abstract: A monitoring system having a means on a person which can process and transmit signals from at least one biosensor and a receiver located close to the patient, which can receive these signals. The receiver, which may be a portable phone can process the signals and provide an indication of the parameter(s) being monitored and may also, or as an alternative, forward the received signals to a remote monitor. The system may include means to indicate when the transmitter is not receiving a signal from the transmitter and can also include means so that when a parameter reaches a concern level, there is an alarm. The arrangement is such that the person being monitored is effectively not limited to remaining within a required distance of a fixed part of the system.

Abstract: An electrode assembly (10) for connection to a patient's body comprising electrodes (20) and a transmitter (50) for operable connection to the electrode assembly (10) to receive the output therefrom and transmit these to a receiver associated with monitoring equipment.
