Apparatus and method for monitoring blood pressure and another physiological parameter

摘要

Apparatus (20) for monitoring a patient (50) is provided. A blood pressure sensor (40) measures blood pressure of the patient (50), substantially without restricting motion of the patient (50). A physical disposition sensor (42) measures an aspect of the physical disposition of the patient. A control unit (30) receives respective blood pressure and physical disposition signals from the blood pressure sensor (40) and the physical disposition sensor (42), and analyzes the signals in combination, so as to detect an abnormal condition of the patient (50). All signals are radio transmitted to a receiving station.
