System for monitoring state of user and related methods
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a state of a user, the system comprising:
- a server;
a local base station comprising first and second wireless transceivers, the second wireless transceiver operating on a different operational frequency than that of said first wireless transceiver, said first wireless transceiver configured to communicate with said server over an external network; and
at least one personal monitoring device adjacent the user and comprisingat least one local wireless transceiver configured tocommunicate with said second wireless transceiver of said local base station,provide a connection between said at least one personal monitoring device and said server, andtransmit a beacon alert to a mobile wireless communications device of the user when outside a range of said local base station,a plurality of sensors configured to monitor a corresponding plurality of different characteristics of the user, each different characteristic having a desired range, anda controller coupled to said at least one local wireless transceiver and said plurality of sensors,said controller configured to send an alert to said local base station when at least one different characteristic exceeds a respective desired range;
said server configured to monitor for the alert, and provide a web interface for viewing the alert.

Abstract
A system includes a server, a local base station including first and second wireless transceivers, the first wireless transceiver configured to communicate with the server over an external network, and a personal monitoring device adjacent the user. The personal monitoring device includes a local wireless transceiver configured to communicate with the second wireless transceiver of the local base station, sensors configured to monitor corresponding different characteristics of the user, each different characteristic having a desired range, and a controller coupled to the local wireless transceiver and the sensors. The controller is configured to send an alert to the local base station when a different characteristic exceeds a respective desired range.
