Abstract
The present invention provides sensor generating measurement information based upon a patient parameter measured by the sensor and a processor managing local output of the measurement information according to automatically detected control signals locally and wirelessly transmitted from a transmitter entering a local area of the sensor from a remote area. The control signals include identification of a user and the transmitter travels with the user entering the local area of the sensor from a remote area so that the processor can manage local output of the measurement information according to stored preferences of the user. The processor can also control patient parameter measurements according to the preferences of the user.
