More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a device, in particular a patient monitoring system with a mobile terminal unit ( 1 ) for acquiring patient data. The measured data is transferred from the terminal unit ( 1 ) via a short-range radio technology ( 2 ) (e.g. Bluetooth) to a data monitor ( 3 ) arranged at the patient's bedside when the patient is in the vicinity thereof. If necessary, communication can be switched to a long-range radio technology ( 7 ) (e.g. WLAN) to ensure interruption-free data transmission while the patient moves around.
