A capnography device including a suitable sensor to measure carbon dioxide concentration for a target patient/user is provided. Such a device utilizes at least one microprocessor (MCU) to govern overall activation and communication between the capnograph and ultimately a data center. Such a component is provided with at least one RFID tag in order to charge device and transfer data via inductive coupling and to use as device ID for data routing purposes. The MCU may thus provide pre-programmed information to determine alert levels for a target patient/user, with the utilization, additionally of a data recordation device to capture all sensor results for such a target patient/user as well. If an alert occurs, the MCU transfers of all subsequent information from the sensors to the data center. Thus, the inventive device and system provides a real-time, reliable, wireless surveillance and notification platform that has been lacking in the industry.
