Personal status physiologic monitor system and architecture and related monitoring methods
First Claim
1. A method for communicating data over a network linking at least one respondent device with at least one battery-powered patient monitoring device, said method comprising the steps of:
- continuously measuring at least one physiologic parameter for purposes of detecting a predetermined event using said at least one monitoring device;
storing continuously measured physiological parameter data into memory of said monitoring device;
operating said network in a quiet state in which said patient monitoring device transmits a periodic wireless beacon in order to continually maintain connectivity state with said at least one respondent device in which said predetermined event has not occurred; and
transmitting said measured and stored data over said network in an active state only after said predetermined event has occurred, thereby saving battery power of said patient monitoring device.

Abstract
A method for communicating data using at least one network linking at least one respondent device with at least one monitoring device, said method comprising the steps of: continuously measuring at least one physiologic parameter for purposes of detecting a predetermined event using said at least one monitoring device; operating said network in an off state in which said network is off except for the periodic transmission of patient status data while said network is in a first operative state wherein said predetermined event has not occurred and transmitting said measured data along said at least one said network in a second state when said predetermined event has occurred.
