Portable system for monitoring and processing patient parameters in multiple oprational modes
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring and processing signal parameters acquired from a patient in multiple operational modes and housed as a portable monitoring unit, comprising:
- a data acquisition processor for receiving and processing patient parameter data from a plurality of different patient attached sensors to provide processed patient parameter data;
an image reproduction device for displaying processed patient parameter data;
a communication interface for communicating said processed patient parameter data to;
said image reproduction device for display in a first mode;
a docking station when said portable monitoring unit is docked in said docking station in a second mode; and
a network access point coupled to a communication network via wireless communication in a third mode; and
a power unit for re-charging a battery in said portable monitoring unit in said second mode.

Abstract
A system, housed as a portable monitoring unit, monitors and processes signal parameters acquired from a patient in multiple operational modes. A data acquisition processor receives patient parameter data from a plurality of different patient attached sensors and processes that data to provide processed patient parameter data. An image reproduction device displays processed patient parameter data. A communication interface communicates the processed patient parameter data to the image reproduction device for display and concurrently communicates the processed patient parameter data to either a docking station when said portable monitoring unit is docked in said docking station in a first mode or a network access point coupled to a communication network via wireless communication in a second mode. A power unit re-charges a battery in the portable monitoring unit in the first mode.
