Abstract
The invention relates to a method of monitoring a plurality of vital parameters of a patientusing a body sensor network with a set of on-body sensorsand at least one off-body monitoring device, the method comprising the following steps: with each on-body sensor, sensing a vital parameter and transmitting data related to the sensed vital parameter to the off-body monitoring device, and for at least one of the on-body sensors, determining the inclination of this on-body sensorrelative to the off-body monitoring device. In this way, a reliable and easy to use possibility for monitoring vital parameters of a patientusing a body sensor network is provided that minimizes the performance problem produced by RF attenuation caused by the body of the patient
