Patent Images
1. A device for measuring at least one physiological parameter of a subject, comprising:
- (a) a fastening article for being fastened to a wrist of the user;
(b) a sensor for measuring at least one physiological parameter of the user, said sensor being in contact with at least a portion of said wrist and said sensor being attached to said fastening article; and
(c) a processor for receiving a signal from said sensor and for converting said at least one measurement to form medical information.

Abstract
A wrist-mounted device for measuring at least one physiological parameter of the user. The present invention enables such a measurement to preferably be transformed into clinically useful information about the user. Such information may then optionally be sent to medical personnel, for example at a contact and/or monitoring center, through a gateway device. The gateway device preferably communicates with the wrist-mounted device of the present invention through a wireless communication channel.

34. A method for monitoring a physiological parameter of a user, comprising:
-
providing a device for monitoring the physiological parameter, said device being attached to at least a portion of the user at a pulse point of the user;
monitoring the physiological parameter through said pulse point; and
if a level of the physiological parameter of the user is outside of an expected range, transmitting an alarm.
