The present invention provides a selective data transmission method and a system based on a central monitoring system. The selective data transmission method includes a wireless sensor, wherein the wireless sensor executes the following steps of: A. collecting data; B. sending the data to a designated receiving end; C. selecting a receiving end according to an instruction, and taking the receiving end as the designated receiving end; and D. establishing a wireless connection with the designated receiving end. The present invention has the advantageous effects that the method and the system realize selective data transmission through transmitting the data to a selected receiving end, which not only can be applied to the field of medical monitoring, but also can be applied to such fields as security prevention, data backup and the like; working nodes can be switched.
