Purpose and plain-language scope (from the supplied text): The patent is titled "Wireless monitoring" and is classified in A61B (diagnosis; surgery; identification), specifically A61B5/00 (measuring for diagnostic purposes; identification of persons). Classifications listed indicate monitoring of patients using telemetry and transmission of vital signals via a communication network, including monitoring via global networks such as telephone networks and the internet. Listed classes further point to physiological signals such as ECG/EEG, cardiovascular measurement (pulse, heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow), blood loss/bleeding, combined cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, movement and mobility sensing using particular sensing techniques including image analysis, local tracking of patients, posture transitions, fall detection, activity level, and movement occurring during breathing. In plain terms, the listed art concerns wirelessly monitoring a person's physiological and movement-related data and transmitting such signals over a network.
What the excerpt does not establish: The supplied text does not include claims, a detailed description, or a written abstract, so the specific claimed scope, claim limitations, and embodiments cannot be determined from it. It does not establish the meaning of the prior-art keywords (patient, data, protocol, heart, person).
Per instructions, this overview does not address litigation, ownership transfers, validity, or prior art, and no facts beyond the supplied text are asserted.

No PTAB proceedings on file. This patent has not been challenged via IPR, PGR, or CBM. The absence is itself a signal — well-asserted patents eventually attract IPRs. The LLM analysis below may surface filings the ODP feed hasn’t indexed yet.
PTAB challenges
AIA trial proceedings at the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board — IPR, PGR, and CBM. Petitioners, judge panels, claim-level invalidation outcomes from Final Written Decisions, and Federal Circuit appeals. The single most important defensive datapoint after litigation history.
Assignment history
Inventors, original assignee, and the chain of ownership recorded with the USPTO — including the correspondent attorney who recorded each assignment, since shell-LLC chains often share one repeat-player attorney even when the entity names look unrelated. Surfaces NPE / patent-troll patterns: shell-entity transfers, known asserters in the chain, repeat correspondent fingerprints, pre-litigation assignments, and bankruptcy fire-sales.
Prior art
Earlier patents, publications, and products that may anticipate or render the claims unpatentable.
Obviousness
Combinations of prior art that suggest the claimed invention would have been obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Extensions
Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
Derivative works
Defensive disclosure: derivative variations of each claim designed to render future incremental improvements obvious or non-novel.
