Abstract

A method of context-based communication of physiological information over a network includes receiving physiological information, preparing a contextual data package, establishing a network connection, and communicating the contextual data package. The physiological information is received with a portable network interface module from at least one physiological monitor coupled to a single medical patient. The physiological information is related to a physiological condition of the medical patient, and the portable network interface module is exclusively assigned to the medical patient. The contextual data package is prepared with the portable network interface module. The contextual data package includes context information related to the medical patient and the physiological information. The network connection is established with a user over a network with the portable network interface module, and the portable network interface module manages the network connection with the user. The contextual data package is communicated to the user over the network with the network connection.
