Claims
- 1. A patient monitor for monitoring information on body condition comprising:
- a sensor for detecting information on body condition and converting the detected information into an electrical analog signal;
- means operatively coupled to said sensor for converting said electrical analog signal into digital measured values;
- a data processing means operatively coupled to said means for converting for at least one of sampling said digital measured values at a predetermined time interval and calculating a representative data value from a predetermined number of said digital measured values to obtain a summary data, and determining at least one of a continuity and a discontinuity of successive summary data obtained;
- a read-write storing means operatively coupled to said data processing means for storing said summary data and first and second types of delimiters which respectively show a continuity and a discontinuity of summary data determined by said data processing means, whereby said summary data is stored with a respective type delimiter in a storage area of said storing means, said storing means having a back-up function for holding data stored therein and being adapted to be overwritten upon being filled with data;
- a real time clock operatively coupled to said data processing means for outputting real time information for storage in said storage area of said storing means following storing of said respective type of delimiter;
- said data processing means operating to read out and process said stored summary data as at least one of a block of summary data covering an oldest data to a first discontinuity delimiter and a block from a first discontinuity delimiter to a second discontinuity delimiter and to edit said summary data into a histogram for every block of said summary data; and
- means operatively coupled to said data processing means for outputting said edited data in accordance with an outputting instruction.
- 2. The patient monitor as set forth in claim 1, in which said data processing means seeks an average of said measured values.
- 3. The patient monitor as set forth in claim 1, further including means for recording or displaying said edited data from said output means.
- 4. The patient monitor as set forth in claim 3, in which said means for recording or displaying said data is connected to said output means by a cable.
- 5. A patient monitor as set forth in claim 1, further including a battery power source so as to be portable.
