Abstract:
1. A physiological measurement system comprising: a wrist mounted unit configured to be mounted to a wrist of a patient; a blood pressure sensor that measures a blood pressure relative to atmospheric pressure at the wrist, the blood pressure sensor being carried by the wrist mounted unit to abut the wrist; a pressure compensation system that determines an offset pressure between the wrist and a heart level, the pressure compensation system including: a plurality of physiological parameter sensors configured to be mounted to the patient, each sensor sending sensed physiological parameters over a wireless body area network; a transceiver mounted in the wrist mounted unit and coupled to the wireless body area network to at least receive the sensed physiological parameters; a communication component mounted in the wrist mounted unit and connected with the transceiver and the pressure sensor to receive the sensed physiological parameters and the blood pressure at heart level therefrom, the communication component wirelessly transmitting the sensed physiological parameters and the blood pressure at heart level from the wrist mounted unit to a remote medical network.
