Device for monitoring the physiological functioning of a patient or animal in which physiological sensors are linked to a processor that transmits medical data via a mobile phone, enabling a patient to be more mobile

摘要

Device for monitoring the physiological functioning of a patient has sensors (62, 64, 66, 68) to generate measurement values representing the physiological state of the patient. A processor (72) links the measurement values to signals that can be transmitted using a mobile phone (30) or similar to a hospital, etc. A locating device (34) is used to determine patient position and this too can be transmitted to a central location. The invention also relates to a system for determining the physiological state of a patient and transmitting details and geographical position to a central point.
