1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one physiological sensor;
control circuitry connected to the sensor, the control circuitry including condition determining software; and
at least two communication links between the control circuitry and at least two displaced locations, one of the at least two communication links is coupled to a remote monitoring station, the other couplable to a message receiving and transmitting device;
wherein, responsive to information from the sensor, the control circuitry forwards at least an automatically generated verbal, condition identifying, message to the device via one link and a separate non-verbal, condition identifying, message to the monitoring station via the other communication link, andresponsive to feedback from the device, the control circuitry automatically generates at least an additional treatment specifying verbal message and forwards the treatment specifying verbal message to the device.

Abstract
A system for monitoring health related parameters of an individual can determine the existence of one or more health related conditions that may need attention. Verbal messages, responsive to the determined condition, can be automatically transmitted via one or more communications networks to displaced recipients.

9. A monitoring system comprising:
-
at least one sensor for monitoring a physical parameter of a person and a circuit for transferring this sensor data to an interface device; the interface device includes a processor with software that analyzes the sensor data to, at least in part, determine the health condition of the person, the processor includes software to automatically form at least a verbal message from pre-programmed message information, where the processor forms the message in response to the determined health condition of the person; and at least two communication links between the device and at least two remote locations, where the interface device transmits the formed verbal message via one of the communication links, the message being transmitted to one of the at least two remote locations via one of the at least two communication links and responsive to feedback therefrom, automatically forms and transmits at least an additional verbal message and sends at least a non-verbal message to the other location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A monitoring system comprising:
-
at least one sensor for monitoring a physical parameter of a person and a circuit for transferring this sensor data to an interface device, the interface device includes software to analyze the sensor data to, at least in part, determine a health condition of the person, where the software, at least in part, forms messages in response to the determined health condition of the person, at least one of the formed messages being a verbal message, and where the interface device transmits the formed messages to at least two displaced locations via at least two communication links, the verbal message is transmitted to at least one displaced location and responsive to feedback therefrom, the interface device transmits at least an additional verbal message to the one displaced location. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one sensor; control circuitry connected to the sensor; at least two communication links; and at least two displaced locations wherein the control circuitry sends at least one verbal message to one of the displaced locations via one of the communication links, the control circuitry sends at least one non-verbal message to a second of the at least two displaced locations via a second of the at least two communication links, and responsive to feedback from the one displaced location, the control circuitry sends at least one patient treatment verbal message to the one displaced location.

25. A method of monitoring the health of an individual, comprising:
-
sensing physiological data from the individual; creating a verbal message and a non-verbal message from the sensed data; sending the verbal message to one displaced location via one communication link; sending the non-verbal message to a second displaced location via a second communication link, and responsive to feedback from the one displaced location, sending at least a patient treatment verbal message to the one displaced location.
