Healthcare monitoring system
First Claim
1. A wireless healthcare monitoring system, comprising:
- at least one UWB biosensor transmitter, said biosensor transmitter associated with a biosensor disposed to detect a health condition of a user and generate a corresponding biosensor reading, said reading converted by said biosensor transmitter to a UWB biosensor signal transmitted by said transmitter;
a UWB receiver disposed remote from and within range of said transmitter, said receiver receiving and converting said UWB biosensor signal to a signal containing information from said biosensor reading; and
a processor in communication with said UWB receiver to process said 10 converted signal and provide a readable output indicating a health condition of the user detected by said biosensor.

Abstract
A wireless healthcare monitoring system and method are provided. At least one UWB biosensor transmitter is assigned to at least one individual to be remotely monitored. The biosensor transmitter includes a biosensor disposed to detect a health condition of a user and generate a corresponding biosensor reading. The reading is converted by the biosensor transmitter to an ultra wideband (UWB) biosensor signal transmitted by the biosensor transmitter. A UWB receiver disposed remote from and within range of the transmitter receives and converts the UWB biosensor signal to a signal containing information from the biosensor reading. A processor in communication with the UWB receiver processes and displays the converted signal as a readable output indicating a health condition of the user detected by the biosensor.

17. A wireless healthcare monitoring system for simultaneously monitoring a plurality of users for a plurality of healthcare conditions, comprising:
-
a plurality of UWB biosensor transmitters, each of the monitored users being assigned at least one respective said biosensor transmitter;
each said biosensor transmitter comprising a biosensor element that detects an analyte in a biological sample from the respective user and generates a corresponding biosensor reading therefrom;
each said biosensor transmitter comprising a power supply, a self-powered UWB signal generator device that converts said biosensor reading to a UWB biosensor signal, and a transmitter with associated antenna to transmit said UWB biosensor signal;
a UWB receiver in communication with said biosensor transmitters for simultaneous receipt of said biosensor signals; and
a processor and display system configured to process and display information contained in said initial biosensor readings to a monitoring healthcare professional. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for wireless monitoring of individuals for health conditions, said method comprising:
-
assigning a biosensor transmitter to each individual to be monitored, the biosensor transmitter including a biosensor element that detects a health condition of the individual and a UWB transmitter operatively configured with the biosensor element;
detecting a health condition of the monitored individuals with the biosensor transmitter and transmitting a UWB biosensor signal from the biosensor transmitters to a UWB receiver;
receiving and converting the UWB biosensor signals to readable outputs indicating the health conditions monitored by the biosensor transmitters. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
