Abstract
A care device and process are provided. The care device has a sensor module (11), which is to be placed directly on the patient (3) for picking up the patient'"'"'s data, such as temperature, pulse and ECG. A first receiving means (13) is arranged in space in the vicinity of the patient (3) and is designed to pass on the measured data received from the sensor module (11). A mobile part (9) can be removed from the care device and provides wireless communication and a second receiving means (24) for establishing an alternative primary wireless link when the patient is removed from the care device.

8. A process for the wireless transmission of measured data of a sensor module arranged at a patient to a care device, the process comprising the steps of:
-
providing a first receiving means to receive the measured data values transmitted from the sensor module; arranging the first receiving means in the vicinity of the patient; transmitting measured values to said care device; providing a removable mobile part having means for wireless communication with the care device and having a second receiving means for receiving measured data sent by the sensor module; and transmitting the measured data of the patient via the mobile part to the care device when the patient is removed from the care device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A care device comprising:
-
a patient primary care location; a first receiver arranged adjacent to the patient primary care location; a sensor module to be placed directly on a patient, said sensor module including at least one sensor for picking up patient data, a power supply unit and a transmitter with a low power for establishing a primary wireless link with the first receiver; a mobile part having a wireless communication transmitter for establishing a secondary wireless link with the first receiver and a second receiver for establishing an alternative primary wireless link with said sensor module, whereby the patient can move to a location away from said patient primary care location and said mobile part can be moved to near the patient to relay patient data from said sensor module to the first receiver. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
