A wireless healthcare monitoring system and method are provided. At least one UWB biosensor transmitter is assigned to at least one individual to be remotely monitored. The biosensor transmitter includes a biosensor disposed to detect a health condition of a user and generate a corresponding biosensor reading. The reading is converted by the biosensor transmitter to an ultra wideband (UWB) biosensor signal transmitted by the biosensor transmitter. A UWB receiver disposed remote from and within range of the transmitter receives and converts the UWB biosensor signal to a signal containing information from the biosensor reading. A processor in communication with the UWB receiver processes and displays the converted signal as a readable output indicating a health condition of the user detected by the biosensor. |
