Communication terminal, medical telemetry system and method for monitoring physiological data
First Claim
1. A terminal comprising:
- a wireless transmitter;
a wireless receiver, adapted to receive processed physiological data;
wherein the processed physiological data is wirelessly transmitted by a wireless telemeter that wirelessly receives physiological data collected by at least one sensor and processes the physiological data to provide the processed physiological data a power line transmitter, coupled to the wireless receiver;
a terminal controller, coupled to the power line transmitter and the wireless receiver, for controlling the power line transmitter and the wireless receiver;
wherein the terminal controller is adapted to at least partially process the processed physiological data;
wherein the process comprises performing health event detection;
wherein the terminal controller is further adapted to determine whether to transmit said processed physiological data over the at least one power line or to wirelessly transmit said processed physiological data over a wireless connection;
wherein the wireless transmitter is arranged to wirelessly transmit the processed physiological information if it is determined to wirelessly transmit the processed information;
wherein the power line transmitter is arranged to transmit, over the at least one power line the processed physiological information if it is determined to wirelessly transmit the processed information over the at least one power line; and
wherein the terminal controller is further adapted to determine whether to transmit said processed physiological data over the at least one power line or to wirelessly relay said processed physiological data to another terminal;
wherein the wireless transmitter is arranged to wirelessly relay the processed physiological information to another terminal if it is determined to wirelessly relay the processed information to the other terminal.

Abstract
A medical telemetry system for remote monitoring of data collected from mobile persons including a sensor capable of monitoring physiological data, a mobile communication telemeter operably connected to said sensor for communicating physiological data to terminals, a plurality of terminals for receiving physiological data and for communication said physiological data over a wireless link using the Bluetooth standard to a communication gateway, and a communications gateway for communicating such physiological data to a first end of a communications network. Terminal may also be operably connected to power lines and may be capable of transmitting data via both a wireless link and a power line modem over power lines, such that the power line modem is capable of communicating or receiving physiological data over power lines if it is unable to communicate physiological data over a wireless link.
