Abstract

After Hours Monitoring is a method of use system for monitoring a veterinary patient comprising: a monitor which is capable of receiving signals of low-power radio frequencies of physiological data from multiple wireless sensors; a remote surveillance system for visual observation of said patient.

Claims

1. a method and system of After Hours Monitoring of a veterinary patient comprising:

a monitor;

capable of receiving signals of low-power radio frequencies of physiological data from multiple wireless sensors;

capable of interfacing with conventional PC platforms;

with specifically designed software with file transfer protocol (FTP) allowing a user with an internet, intranet, or LAN connection from any location worldwide to access a secure, password protected intranet or internet website and monitor, in real-time, a veterinary patient, and allowing a user to set upper and lower limits for each sensor transmitter placed in or on a veterinary patient which will activate a notification method selected by said user if these limits are exceeded or subceeded;

a remote surveillance system comprising;

wireless audio/video camera transmitters mounted in or within close proximity of the cage of a veterinary patient;

an audio/video wireless receiver;

specifically designed surveillance software with a USB video grabber capable of;

broadcasting live video;

allowing a user to simultaneously view, broadcast, and record multiple cameras via a PC internet, intranet, or LAN connection, from any location worldwide;

recording live or when motion is detected;

sends a notification if motion is detected;

password protected to prevent unauthorized usage;

scheduling for automatic viewing or recording;

allows user to define independent motion detection zones for each wireless camera transmitter.

2. said monitor of claim 1 initializes and activates said multiple wireless sensors.

3. the multiple wireless sensors of claim 1 are of two types:

1.) a capsule shaped sensor;

2.) adhesive dermal patch sensors.

4. said capsule shaped sensor of claim 3 can be ingested or inserted rectally.

5. said adhesive dermal patch sensors of claim 3 are placed on the skin of a veterinary patient.

6. said notification methods of claim 1 can include, but not limited to:

an alarm bell;

an alarm buzzer;

an alarm ringer;

an alarm horn;

a telephone call;

an e-mail;

a pager message;

a text message;

a fax;

any future developed method of notification.

7. said monitor software of claim 1 is capable of analyzing said physiological

data transmissions received from the multiple wireless sensors.
