Claim:
1. A system for monitoring a patient, the system comprising: a monitoring device configured to communicate with at least one sensor configured to be coupled to a patient, the monitoring device configured to receive physiologic data about the patient from the at least one sensor; a memory configured to store the received physiologic data; a central processing device configured to: (a) analyze reduced bandwidth data generated from the physiologic data according to a first algorithm to determine that the reduced bandwidth data indicate a cardiac arrhythmia event; (b) transmit a signal to the monitoring device based on determining that the reduced bandwidth data indicate the cardiac arrhythmia event; and (c) analyze a portion of the received physiologic data according to a second algorithm that validates the cardiac arrhythmia event detected by the first algorithm; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the monitoring device and configured to: (a) transmit, to the central processing device, the reduced bandwidth data regardless of whether the reduced bandwidth data are indicative of a cardiac arrhythmia event; (b) receive the signal from the central processing device; and (c) transmit the portion of the received physiologic data to the central processing device, in response to the signal from the central processing device.
