Abstract
An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor.

2. A personal, wearable, wireless physiological system comprising:
-
a physiological sensor configured to be attached to a patient and further configured to measure data useable to determine a physiological parameter; a housing including a first processor configured to receive sensor signals from said physiological sensor and further configured to calculate at least one physiological parameter of a patient, said housing configured to be wearable by the patient; a first communications link in communication with said first processor, the communication link configured to at least wirelessly transmit an indication of the calculated at least one physiological parameter; a second communications link configured to wirelessly receive the transmitted indication of the calculated at least one physiological parameter transmitted by the first communications link; a second processor in communication with the second communications link, the second processor configured to provide a signal to a physiological monitor to cause the physiological monitor to display a physiological measurement consistent with the calculated at least one physiological parameter of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A physiological measurement method comprising:
-
receiving a physiological sensor signal at a wearable processing unit configured to be worn by a patient under measurement; calculating an indication of a physiological parameter; wirelessly transmitting the indication of the calculated physiological parameter; receiving the transmitted indication of the calculated physiological parameter; and outputting an adapted physiological waveform to the patient monitor so that the patient monitor derives physiological measurements from the adapted physiological waveform. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
