USPA: SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EMS DEVICE COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A system for supplementing communications capabilities of a patient monitoring device configured to monitor a patient and to make available patient monitoring information, the patient monitoring device having a communications interface slot, the system comprising:
- a card configured to fit within the communications interface slot and to receive the patient monitoring information from the patient monitoring device via the communications interface slot;
a memory device hosted by the card and configured to store the patient monitoring information;
a wireless transceiver hosted by the card;
an asset management database hosted by the card; and
a processor communicably coupled to the wireless transceiver and the asset management database, the processor configured to format the patient monitoring information into a stream of one or more frames, each of the one or more frames associated with an EMS incident during which the patient monitoring information was gathered, the processor further configured to store the one or more frames to the asset management database and to transmit the stream of one or more frames with the wireless transceiver.
