The advent of 802.11-compatible wireless patient monitors has unlocked the many advantages of using a standard, off-the-shelf wireless technology but has presented some implementation challenges due to the life-critical nature of the application.Ī dropped packet or two may slow down a file transfer or webpage access or may result in a garbled word in a wireless voice-over-IP (VoIP) call, but a lost packet in a patient monitoring application may delay alerting nursing staff to an urgent condition, with the potential of serious patient injury. Patient telemetry has been done over dedicated wireless channels since the early 1970s, first using analog transmission schemes and then transitioning to digital in the 1990s. Wireless patient monitors are not a new phenomenon. These documents are available at with the proper login permissions.
