Abstract
A vital signs monitoring system and method for storing and accessing data obtained by a pupilometer make use of a pupilometer with a wireless telemetry interface to the vital signs monitor. The wireless telemetry interface permits transmission of information obtained by the pupilometer to a wireless telemetry module in a vital signs monitor. In this manner, the valuable information obtained by the pupilometer can be readily integrated with other information obtained by a vital signs monitor, and can be readily stored and retrieved by care-givers.
