Personal monitoring and emergency communications system and method
First Claim
1. A personal monitoring and emergency communications system comprising:
- a mobile wrist worn apparatus carried by a monitored person for minimizing response time during an emergency notwithstanding the conscious state of said monitored person, said mobile wrist worn apparatus including;
an array of sensors for periodically sensing a plurality of vital biometric parameters of said monitored person;
a memory for storing and comparing said sensed vital parameters to a pre-stored standard range of said vital parameters for providing a comparator signal;
an alarm circuit for evaluating said comparator signal and for providing an emergency alarm signal for remote transmission when said vital parameters are not within said pre-stored standard range; and
a programmable logic controller for automatically responding to an emergency including activating, encoding and broadcasting said emergency alarm signal from a signal transceiver to a worldwide communication network via either one of a pair of parallel communication links for continuously communicating the exact time, determining location coordinates, said vital parameters and a medical history of said monitored person and for identifying and continuously directly communicating with a medical response team closest to said monitored person for providing emergency medical services.

12. A personal monitoring and emergency communications system comprising:
-
a mobile wrist worn apparatus carried by a monitored person for minimizing response time during an emergency notwithstanding the conscious state of said monitored person, said wrist worn apparatus including; an array of sensors for periodically sensing a plurality of vital biometric parameters of said monitored person; a memory for storing and comparing said sensed vital parameters to a pre-stored standard range of said vital parameters for providing a comparator signal; an alarm circuit for evaluating said comparator signal and for providing an emergency alarm signal for remote transmission when said vital parameters are not within said pre-stored standard range; an acknowledgment button positioned on said mobile wrist worn apparatus for entering a specified code for modifying the operation of said mobile wrist worn apparatus; and a programmable logic controller for automatically responding to an emergency including activating, encoding and broadcasting said emergency alarm signal from a signal transceiver to a worldwide communication network via either one of a pair of parallel communication links for continuously communicating the exact time, determining location coordinates, said vital parameters and a medical history of said monitored person and for identifying and continuously directly communicating with a medical response team closest to said monitored person for providing emergency medical services. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method for providing remote monitoring and communications with a person during an emergency, said method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a mobile wrist worn apparatus carried by a monitored person for minimizing emergency response time notwithstanding the conscious state of said monitored person including; sensing a plurality of vital biometric parameters from said monitored person with said wrist worn apparatus and comparing said sensed vital parameters to a pre-stored standard range of vital parameters for providing a comparator signal; detecting an abnormal comparator signal not within said pre-stored standard range for providing an emergency alarm signal; and automatically activating a programmable logic controller with said alarm signal for determining the global positioning system location coordinates, locating and establishing a pair of communication links with a medical response team closest to said monitored person, continuously broadcasting medical history data and said vital biometric parameters, time, date, and location of said monitored person directly to said medical response team through either of said communication links and a worldwide communication network for providing emergency medical services.
