14. A method for operator-controllable medical monitoring of a patient comprising:
-
employing at least one medical sensor that is adapted to sense at least one patient characteristic; receiving information from said at least one medical sensor; automatically selecting a first one of a plurality of medical monitors to display said information; establishing communication between said at least one medical sensor and said first one of said plurality of medical monitors; displaying said information on said first one of said plurality of medical monitors; manually selecting to display said information on an alternative one of said plurality of medical monitors; automatically selecting a second one of said plurality of medical monitors in accordance with a strength of a wireless signal sensed by a patient companion assembly wireless transceiver; and subsequent to said automatically selecting; terminating display of said information on said first one of said plurality of medical monitors; and displaying said information on said second one of said plurality of medical monitors. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
