Personal health monitoring system
First Claim
1. A portable system for monitoring physiological conditions comprising:
- a sensor attached to a user generating signals based upon conditions measured on the user;
a portable basic processing device which communicates with the sensor and performs a first analysis on the signals obtained from the sensor;
a base station receiving second signals from the basic processing device for performing asecond analysis of the second signals for determining a medical condition; and
wherein the basic processing device generates the second signals based upon the first analysis.

Abstract
The present invention includes a sensor, a basic processor and a complex processor. The basic processor resides with the sensor; it receives signals from the sensor and performs basic analysis. If conditions require further analysis, the basic processor communicates with the complex processor (the base unit) for further analysis. The base unit can alert the patient, a care giver, or can control the administration of medication. The basic processor can provide a more limited form of alert in case it is in a stand-alone mode.
The base unit enables bi directional communication between the sensor and the caregiver. The base unit can handle more than one sensor for a comprehensive medical and other vital signs monitoring.
