Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de surveillance permettant de surveiller des paramètres physiologiques d'un être vivant. Le système de surveillance comprend un vêtement intelligent, une unité centrale et une station d'accueil. La station d'accueil permet l'enclenchement/déclenchement rapide et simple du processeur. La station d'accueil est électriquement connectée à des capteurs du vêtement intelligent pour ainsi fournir les données détectées au processeur qui accueilli sur celle-ci. Le processeur est conçu pour obtenir tout ou partie des données détectées via une interface de communication (HDMI par ex.). La station d'accueil et le vêtement intelligent peuvent être interconnectés à l'aide de boutons-pression conducteurs complémentaires. La station d'accueil peut comprendre au moins une ouverture traversante formée dans sa paroi arrière pour ainsi permettre une communication opérationnelle par fil entre l'unité centrale et un capteur externe supplémentaire correspondant. La station d'accueil peut comprendre un dispositif de protection de défibrillation pour protéger le système de surveillance d'un courant électrique ou d'une surtension.
