1. A system for actively monitoring a patient, said system comprising:

  • at least one body-worn monitoring device, said at least one body-worn monitoring device including at least one sensor that continuously measures at least one physiologic parameter, said at least one body-worn monitoring device being capable of detecting at least one predetermined event and in which said at least one body-worn device stores said continuously measured parameter data;

    at least one intermediary device linked to said at least one body-worn monitoring device by a first wireless network wherein said at least one body-worn monitoring device is programmed to transmit a beacon for maintaining periodic connectivity over said first wireless network with said at least one intermediary device and in which said network is in an “

    off”

    state with the exception of said periodic beacon until the detection of said predetermined event; and

    at least one respondent device linked to said at least one intermediary device through a second wireless network, said at least one of said body-worn monitoring device, said at least one intermediary device and said at least one respondent device being programmed to perform a specified function automatically when said at least one predetermined event is detected, wherein said at least one body-worn monitoring device does not transmit continuously measured physiologic parameter data, including stored parameter data, to said at least one intermediary device over said first wireless network until the occurrence of said at least one predetermined event and wherein continuously measured physiologic parameter data, including said stored data, is automatically transmitted over at least said first wireless network when said at least one predetermined event is detected by said at least one body-worn monitoring device.
