Abstract
The invention relates to a medical parameter monitoring device which allows the monitoring of a plurality of medical parameters from a remote location. The invention uses a central monitoring system which transmits and receives data parameters via RF from remote patient monitors. The monitoring systems utilizes a digital spread spectrum RF transceiver between the central monitoring system and the remote monitors. Forward error correcting, frequency hopping, and spread spectrum communications are employed to provide accurate trnsmission of data for a plurality of physiological parameters. Transmitted data can be automatically registered into storage int he central monitoring system.
