System for remote communication of heartbeat
First Claim
1. A system for remote communication of a current source heartbeat, the system comprising:
- a first heartbeat sensor module attachable to a first subject, the first heartbeat sensor module having a heartbeat sensor operating repetitively to produce a signal representing the current source heartbeat of the first subject and a wireless communication transmitter for communicating the heartbeat signal;
a host device located in proximity to the first subject, the host device including a wireless communication receiver for receiving the heartbeat signal, and including data transfer means for communicating the signal over a data network;
a server connected to the data network to receive the signal and to communicate the signal to an authorized destination host device;
a first destination host device connected to the data network to receive the signal when authorized;
a first output device for producing at least one of a visual representation of the current source heartbeat and an audible representation of the current source heartbeat.

Abstract
A system for remote communication of physiological information from one person to another and, more particularly, the mutual communication of heartbeat between two persons. The system comprises a web server which cooperates with two remote installations identified as A and B. Each of the remote installations comprises a heartbeat sensor, a pillow, and a local host. The local host may be a personal computer or laptop, or a suitable mobile phone running an appropriate application. The heartbeat sensor monitors the heartbeat of person A which is communicated via their pillow, their local host and a server, and then via a second local host to produce a visual and audible representation of heartbeat A in a pillow located with person B. At the same time, the heartbeat of person B is represented in the same manner at the pillow of person A.
