Remote patient monitoring service through World-Wide Web

Presents a real-time remote patient monitoring service through the World Wide Web (WWW), which allows physicians to monitor their patients in remote sites using popular Web browsers. The real-time patient monitoring consists of two services: the Patient Locator Service (PLS) and the Vital Sign Monitoring Service (VSMS). The PLS provides information about the patients currently being monitored. The VSMS allows the user to observe a stream of vital sign data, such as ECG, respiration, temperature, SpO/sub 2/, invasive blood pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, etc., from a specific patient in real-time.
