Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless patient monitoring are described. The methods, systems, and devices, provide a multi-layer alarm having multiple layers that indicate information associated with a patient being monitored by medical devices. The multi-layer alarm may be encoded with at least two layers of information, one layer indicating information related to severity of a measured parameter of the patient, and a second layer indicating other information related to the patient. The multi-layer alarm may be audibly transmitted allowing a clinician to be alerted of relevant information relating to the patient being monitored.
