Claim One:
1. A system for monitoring the physiological condition of an individual, comprising: (a) at least one SpO 2 sensor for measuring the individual's blood oxygen saturation level and providing data on said blood oxygen saturation level; (b) at least one ECG sensor for measuring the individual's ECG heart rate and providing ECG data; (c) a display unit coupled to the SpO 2 and ECG sensors and configured for displaying in real-time the blood oxygen saturation level and ECG data provided by said sensors; (d) an inference engine executing on a computing device, wherein said computing device is coupled to said display unit, the SpO 2 sensor and the ECG sensor, wherein said inference engine uses the blood oxygen saturation level and ECG data to generate an indicator of the individual's health and transmits said indicator to the display unit, wherein said indicator comprises a bar of light comprising at least a first section and a second section wherein: (i) each of said first section and said second section provides a visual indication of the individual's health during a first time period and a second time period, respectively, wherein said first time period and said second time period are different; (ii) wherein, when said individual's health in said first time period differs from said individual's health in said second time period by an amount greater than a predetermined value, said first section is a different color than said second section, (iii) wherein selection of at least one of said first or second sections causes physiological parameter data used to determine the individual's health in said section to be displayed; (iv) wherein selection of said indicator causes a plurality of rules governing how said visual indication of the individual's health is determined to be displayed; and (d) a central monitoring unit remote from said display unit and adapted for receiving said indicator.
