Claim:
1. A patient communication system comprising: a first medical sensing device operable to collect first medical data associated with a first modality, the first medical sensing device including a flexible elongate member sized and shaped for insertion into a vessel of a patient body, wherein the first modality is an intravascular modality; an analog to digital converter communicatively coupled to the first medical sensing device and operable to digitize the first medical data; a network communication module communicatively coupled to the first medical sensing device and a data network, the network communication module operable to transmit the digitized first medical data onto the data network; a controller communicatively coupled to the analog to digital converter and the network communication module and operable route the first medical sensing data to the network communication module; a power source operable to provide power to the first medical sensing device, the controller, and the network communication module; a hub including the analog to digital converter, controller, and network communication module; a second medical sensing device operable to collect second medical data associated with a second modality different from the first modality; and a patient interface module communicatively coupled to the hub and operable to receive the second medical data from the second medical sensing device and transmit the second medical data to the hub, the patient interface module being further operable to route power from the power source to the second medical sensing device.
