Wireless medical sensor system
First Claim
1. A monitoring device comprising a signal receiver, a pseudo-ground, a digital processor and a transceiver, the signal receiver having an ability to receive a sensed signal comprising a patient vital sign, the pseudo-ground having electrical circuitry that causes a nanovolt pulse to be generated within the monitoring device or between two or more sensors or between two or more monitoring devices that are not physically attached and having an ability to generate a baseline signal that is compared with the sensed signal, the transceiver having an ability to wirelessly transmit a processed signal from the digital processor to a base station or a wireless gate and to receive an incoming signal from the base station or the wireless gateway, and the digital processor having an ability to process the sensed signal and the incoming signal locally within the monitoring device.
