Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing patient monitoring which interfaces a telemetry monitor with a standard portable computer (such as a laptop computer, palmtop computer or personal digital assistant) with the display and the keyboard or other device of the portable computer being utilized to provide both display and input capability to the telemetry monitor. The telemetry monitor is provided with an I/O port which is interfaceable with an I/O port of the portable computer to permit operation as indicated above. Inputs from the user may also be passed through the interface ports and the transmitter of the telemetry monitor to a central station. A back channel may optionally be provided to permit information from the central station to be applied either to control the telemetry monitor or to be passed through the interface ports to the portable processor to provide information to a user.
