Apparatus and method for remote monitoring of physiological parameters.

(57) The equipment and the method by summary book invention give the nursing person of a remote position an alarm, when irregular nature has been recognized, while monitoring the physiological parameter as which subjects, such as breathing and/or electrocardiogram information, were chosen. Equipment (15) is equipped with 2 frequency asynchronous transmitting set (17), the local receiver / transmitting set (19), and remote receiver (21) for transmitting two or more signals which indicate the detected information to be a sensor (39, 41). The physiological parameter monitored is detected and processed and outputs a signal. The signal concerned is supplied to a pair of transmitters (65, 67). Transmission is alternatively enabled in each transmitter, the 1st transmitter transmits the signal which shows the phenomenon monitored in real time with the 1st frequency, and the 2nd transmitter transmits periodically the signal which shows the monitored subject status which was phenomenon-counted and was updated on the 2nd frequency. If transmission is received by the local receiver, both of signals will be processed and a remote receiver will retransmit a message. Here, when irregular nature is displayed, an alarm is sent to a nursing person.
