WIRELESS SYSTEM OF PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRODES FOR MEDICAL MONITORING.

摘要

A dynamically programmable wireless biopotential signal acquisition system (10), including: a) a plurality of individual, remotely programmable wireless transceivers (20), each of said transceivers (20) associated with a patch electrode (22) for use in medical monitoring, and b) a base unit (18) including a wireless transceiver (54) for sending and receiving messages to said plurality of individual wireless transceivers, programmable remotely (20), c) where said base unit (18) and said plurality of individual programmable wireless transceivers (20) implement a wireless programming protocol whereby said messages are exchanged between said base unit (18) and said plurality of individual, remotely programmable wireless transceivers (20), whereby registration, configuration, data acquisition control, and data transmission control properties of said plurality of individual wireless transceivers, programmable remotely (20) can be managed by said base unit (18); characterized in that said base unit (18) also includes an interface (70) to conventional monitoring and display equipment, and the base unit (18) is operable to send data in the interface (70) formatted as analogue input electrode input signals. such that said acquired signals can be sent from said base unit (18) to said conventional monitoring and display equipment for display.
