1. A patient movement notification system, comprising:
a first sensor device comprising a pressure sensor for sensing pressure applied by a patient, and a first circuit for transmitting first signals;
a second sensor device comprising a pressure sensor for sensing pressure applied by the patient, and a second circuit for transmitting second signals; and
a monitor having a receiver for wirelessly receiving the first signals, the monitor having a sensor port through which the monitor receives the second signals via a wired connection, the monitor generating a notification of patient movement in response to one of the first and second signals,
wherein the first sensor device communicates information from which the monitor may identify the type of sensor device from which the first signals are sent, and
wherein the monitor determines from the first and second signals whether one of the sensor devices sensed pressure and subsequently did not sense pressure and responds by generating notification of patient movement.
