ABSTRACT:
A patient monitoring system is provided which includes a monitor and a transmitter which can optically communicate with each other. The monitor receives analog physiological data from a patient and converts the analog data to a digital optical signal which is sent to the transmitter optically. The transmitter includes a memory for storing the digital signal thereby allowing separation of the monitor from the transmitter prior to subsequent transmission. Additionally, the transmitter is capable of converting the digital signal to a modulated tone for transmission via standard phone lines. In this manner, the transmitter is able to send the converted signal to a central processing system via phone lines. This converted signal can then be monitored at the central processing system or it can be further communicated to one or more remote receiving stations.
