Abstract:
A system for monitoring multiple patients within a facility comprises a plurality of monitoring apparatuses, a central communication hub, and a plurality of notification devices. The monitoring apparatuses generate data relating to the status of patients, and send the data to the communication hub. The data may include an alarm signal. In a variant, the monitoring apparatuses do not generate alarm signals. Rather the communication hub processes the data and generates alarms if needed. Alarms are sent by the communication hub to the notification devices to inform employees of the facility of the source of the alarm.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for monitoring multiple patients within a facility, the system comprising:\n (a) a plurality of monitoring apparatuses, each monitoring apparatus corresponding to at least one respective patient, each monitoring apparatus being configured for being in communication with a respective sensing unit which comprises at least one sensor configured for creating sensing data indicative of a status of the patient, and each monitoring apparatus comprising:\n (a1) a respective control unit configured for being in wired and/or wireless communication with the sensing unit, and for receiving the sensing data; and \n (a2) a respective communication unit, configured for receiving the sensing data from the control unit and transmitting the sensing data to a remote location; \n (b) the central communication hub configured for being in communication with the plurality of monitoring apparatuses, and for receiving the sensing data from each communication unit, wherein the central communication hub and/or the control unit is configured for processing the sensing data, and generating an alarm signal if at least a portion of the sensing data deviates from a predetermined pattern, the deviation being indicative of an undesirability in the patient's status; (c) a plurality of notification devices configured for being in wired and/or wireless communication with the central communication hub, each notification device being accessible to one or more employees of the facility, and each notification device comprising a communication element configured for receiving the alarm signal and an output element informing the one or more employee about the source of the alarm signal.
