Abstract
A portable telemetry device includes a physiological component, a fall detector component, a radio, and a communication component. The physiological component is configured to receive, from at least one sensor, physiological data representative of a physiological condition of a patient. The fall detector component is configured to detect a fall of the portable telemetry device. The radio is configured to wirelessly send radio signals. The communication component is configured to transmit the physiological data and an indication of the fall to a monitoring system using the radio.
