First Claim
1. An apparatus for monitoring a plurality of parameters of a user comprising:
- a first sensor adapted to be applied to a chest wall below an axilla of the user;
a cord including a first end and a second end, the first end to the first sensor;
a second sensor connected to the second end of the cord, the second sensor adapted to be placed over an inner aspect of the upper arm against a major artery of the user;

Abstract
A monitoring device for monitoring a plurality of parameters of a patient that includes a first sensor placed on the chest wall of a patient, a cord connecting the first sensor to a second sensor placed on a major artery of the upper arm of the patient, and an inflatable cuff placed around the upper arm of the patient. The device includes a screen that displays one of the plurality of parameters and the date and time the parameter was measured. The device can include an automatic messaging system and an automatic alert system, functioning as a standalone unit. When connected to a computer or mobile device, medical personnel can access an obstetric electronic health system to obtain medical guidelines based on alerts from the device. Personnel with the device at a remote center can communicate with a designated center with emergency obstetric care through this electronic health system.
