Abstract

A system is disclosed for recording continuous streaming data. The system includes a data collection unit, a wireless data transmission unit, a wireless data reception unit and a recorder unit. The data collection unit is for continuously collecting data at a data collection frequency, ƒ C and providing collected data. The wireless data transmission unit is for continuously transmitting the collected data at a data transmission frequency, ƒ T where ƒ C is greater than ƒ T . The wireless data reception unit is for continuously receiving collected data at a data reception frequency, ƒ R where ƒ R is equal to ƒ T . The recorder unit is for providing a recorder output of the collected data at a frequency of ƒ O where ƒ O is equal to ƒ T .

Claims (18)

1. A system for recording continuous streaming data, said system comprising:

data collection means for continuously collecting data at a data collection frequency, ƒ C and providing collected data,

wireless data transmission means for continuously transmitting said collected data at a data transmission frequency, ƒ T where ƒ C is greater than ƒ T ,

wireless data reception means for continuously receiving collected data at a data reception frequency, ƒ R where ƒ R is equal to ƒ T , and

recorder means for providing a recorder output of said collected data at a frequency of ƒ O where ƒ O is equal to ƒ T .

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said data collection means includes a sensor for collecting data at a frequency of ƒ C =100 Hz.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said wireless data transmission means includes a radio frequency transmitter for transmitting data at a frequency of ƒ T =75 Hz.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said recorder means includes a chart recorder and a computer processor for providing the recorder output at a frequency of ƒ O =100 Hz.

5. A system for recording continuous streaming data in a medical environment, said system comprising:

medical data collection means for continuously collecting medical data at a data collection frequency, ƒ C and providing collected medical data,

wireless data transmission means for continuously transmitting said collected medical data at a data transmission frequency, ƒ T where ƒ C is greater than ƒ T ,

wireless data reception means for continuously receiving collected medical data at a data reception frequency, ƒ R where ƒ R is equal to ƒ T , and

chart recorder means for providing a chart recorder output of said collected medical data at a frequency of ƒ O where ƒ O is equal to ƒ T .

6. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said wireless data transmission means and said wireless data reception means includes Bluetooth compatible components.

7. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said medical data collection means further includes a plurality of wireless data reception units for continuously receiving streaming data from a plurality of data transmission units.

8. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said system is used in an emergency medical care providing environment.

9. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said chart recorder means is located in an ambulance.

10. The wireless chart recorder system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said chart recorder means is readily moveable within a hospital emergency room.
