Monitoring system
First Claim
1. A monitoring system, comprising:
- at least one biosensor for generating a biometric signal from a measured parameter of a person;
a transmitter connected to the biosensor for transmitting the biometric signal using Bluetooth technology; and
a receiver not disposed in or coupled to a mobile telephone, for receiving the transmitted signal, displaying the biometric signal on a display device of the receiver, and wirelessly forwarding the signal to a remote monitor using General Packet Radio Service (GPRS).

Abstract
A monitoring system having a device on a person which can process and transmit signals from at least one biosensor and a receiver located close to the patient, which can receive these signals. The receiver, which may be a portable telephone, can process the signals and provide an indication of the parameter(s) being monitored and may also, or as an alternative, forward the received signals to a remote monitor. The monitoring system may further include a device for indicating when the transmitter is not receiving a signal from the transmitter and can also include a device so that when a parameter reaches a critical care level, a warning signal is given. The monitoring system is such that the person being monitored is effectively not limited to remaining within a required distance of a fixed part of the system.

16. A monitoring system, comprising:
-
at least one biosensor for generating a biometric signal from a measured parameter of a person; a transmitter connected to the biosensor for wirelessly transmitting the biometric signal over short range using Bluetooth technology; a receiver not disposed in or coupled to a mobile telephone, located close to the person or receiving the transmitted biometric signal and displaying the biometric signal on a display device of the receiver; and transmitting the biometric signal or a signal based on the biometric signal using General Packet Radio Service (GPRS); and a monitor for receiving the biometric signal or a signal based on the biometric signal transmitted using General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) from the receiver.
