Method and apparatus for monitoring fetal status data
First Claim
1. A system for remotely monitoring a patient status parameter, the system comprising:
- a fetal monitor including a sensor for detecting a patient status parameter and for producing a parameter signal representative thereof;
a server-side controller coupled to the sensor for receiving the parameter signal and for incorporating the parameter signal into a client viewable presentation; and
a client-side controller including a general purpose browser configured to be coupled to the server-side controller via a network connection to receive data from the server-side controller and for displaying the client viewable presentation.

Abstract
A system is provided for remotely monitoring fetal status parameters. Status parameters are sampled from patient sensors and are processed and stored in a medical facility data management system. A general purpose data presentation application, such as a browser, is employed on a client side to access the data via a network, such as the Internet. Support software is called upon to format user-viewable pages and to insert data transmitted from the medical facility for remote viewing. The technique is particularly well suited to monitoring of a variety of parameters at various sampling rates for remote medical evaluation, such as in obstetrics applications.
