Population monitoring system
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a live population by monitoring at least two members (2) of the population includes local data collection means (1) operative to derive data relating to the physical condition of each population member, a local processor (6) for correlating and storing the physical condition data relative to time, means (7) for transferring the stored data from the local processor (6) to a remote data collection means (3), the remote data collection means also accessing data relating to the location of each population member (2) relative to time, and including a main processor (15) for analysing the physical condition and location data for identification of unusual events in the population.

Abstract
A system for monitoring a live population uses a unit (1) as a local data collection means to derive data on the physical condition of a population member (2). The unit (1) has a local processor (6) for correlating and storing the physical condition data relative to time, and means (7) for transferring the stored data from the local processor (6) to a remote data collection means (3). The remote data collection means also receives data relating to the location of the population member (2) relative to time, and analyses the physical condition and location data for unusual events, providing a signal on the occurrence of an unusual event. The physical condition may be derived from a sensor (4), which is a non-invasive sensor for measuring pulse rate, temperature and oxygen levels. The location data is provided from a location means (5) incorporated in the unit (1).
