WEARABLE PORTABLE PATIENT MONITOR

A wearable, portable physiological monitor configured to wirelessly transmit real time information regarding a plurality physiological parameters. The portable monitor includes a plurality of sensor ports, where at least a first sensor port is positioned on a side of a housing of the portable monitor such that, when the portable monitor is attached to an arm of a patient, a wired connection extending from the first sensor port to a first physiological sensor positioned on a digit of the patient follows a path to the digit of the patient that avoids tangling of the wired connection. The portable monitor further includes one or more processing devices configured to cause display of parameter values, combine information indicative of the signals into a single word or bit stream, and encode and generate a baseband signal. Further includes a transmitter to modulate the baseband signal and wirelessly transmit.
