First Claim
1. A system for detecting an abnormality in a physiological condition of a user and for alerting people to said abnormality, said system comprising monitor means for monitoring a signal representative of the physiological condition, said monitor means comprising:
- sensor means arranged to be located on the body of the user for detecting said signal;
detection means actuated by said sensor means and arranged to process said signal in order to derive a feature in the signal characteristic to said abnormality;
alarm means arranged to trigger an alarm signal upon a detection of said feature by the detection means; and
transmission means arranged to transmit the alarm signal to a station responsive to said alarm signal, characterized in that the detection means are arranged on a user-side of the system, the alarm signal being the sole signal transmitted by the monitor means to said station.

Abstract
A system for continuous monitoring of a physiological condition of a recipient arranged to alarm the recipient and a remote service center in case an abnormality in the physiological condition occurs. For that purpose the system comprises monitoring means provided with a set of electrodes to be arranged on the body of the recipient and to derive a signal related to said condition, detection means actuated by said electrodes and arranged to process said signal in order to derive a feature in the signal characteristic to said abnormality; alarm means arranged to trigger an alarm signal upon a detection of said feature by the detection means; transmission means arranged to transmit the alarm signal to a station responsive to said alarm signal. The system architecture is arranged in such a way that only the alarm signal is transferred to the station thus allowing the monitoring in a continuous way.
