Medical monitoring device and system
First Claim
1. A medical monitoring device sized to be carried by a person to be monitored, comprising:
- an electronic controller;
at least one memory coupled to the electronic controller that at least temporarily stores (a) sensor data provided by at least one sensor associated with the monitored person in response to at least one physiological characteristic of the monitored person, and (b) statistical data related to sensor data provided by the at least one sensor; and
a display device that displays at least statistical data stored in the at least one memory.

Abstract
A portable device that receives data provided by one or more sensors and displays statistical data related to the sensor data or otherwise related to the person. Statistical data may include high, low, average, mean value, median value, standard deviation, least square, variance, distribution, compilation, etc. for or at any given time or period of time for the person being monitored, as well as for such values for segments or groups of the population, or limit values, or target values, etc. The values may represent measurements and other data related to physiological signs and parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, electrocardiogram, glucose level, substances and/or chemical presence or level, analyze measurements, etc. The portable device may also display such measurements. The portable device may compute the statistical data, with or without the aid of a remote computer, and/or store statistical data, and/or a remote computer may compute and/or store statistical data. The portable device may communicate with a remote computer through a wireless link from the portable device, which may compute and/or store statistical data and measurements.

16. A medical monitoring system comprising:
a plurality of portable electronics units each sized to be carried by a person being monitored and each comprising;
an electronic controller;
at least one memory coupled to the electronic controller that at least temporarily stores (a) sensor data provided by at least one sensor associated with the monitored person in response to at least one physiological characteristic of the monitored person, and (b) statistical data processed from or related to sensor data provided by the at least one sensor;
a communications unit coupled to the electronic controller that transmits sensor data over a wireless communications link and receives over the wireless link statistical data based from or related to sensor data transmitted by the communications unit, the statistical data received by the communications unit being stored at least temporarily in the at least one memory; and
a display device that displays at least statistical data stored in the at least one memory; and
a remote computer and associated memory that at least temporarily stores sensor data and statistical data processed from or related to the stored sensor data, the communications unit of the electronics unit transmitting sensor data for receipt by the computer and receiving statistical data provided by the computer;
the display displaying statistical data provided only by the remote computer. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
