1. A wearable system for monitoring a plurality of physiological signals associated with a patient, comprising:
- at least one sensor for producing said physiological signals;
a processor unit for receiving said physiological signals from said at least one sensor, said processor unit analyzing the physiological signals to determine the occurrence of a triggered event and producing at least one output signal identifying the triggered event, the processor unit operable for harvesting RF energy to provide power to the wearable system or only said at least one sensor, said processor unit comprising a plurality of independently programmable channels that generate a plurality of asynchronous spikes when said physiological signals cross a threshold voltage, said at least one output signal is produced after said channels are inputted into a logic array and an output of said array is multiplexed into a single signal; and
a transmission unit for receiving the at least one output signal and preparing for transmission of the at least one output signal.

Abstract
A wearable system for monitoring a plurality of physiological signals is provided. The wearable system includes at least one sensor producing the physiological signals associated with a patient. A processor unit receives the physiological signals from the at least one sensor. The processor unit analyzes the physiological signals to determine the occurrence of a triggered event and produces at least one output signal identifying the triggered event. A transmission unit receives the at least one output signal and prepares for transmission of the at least one output signal.
