Dynamic pairing of patients to data collection gateways

摘要

Systems, devices and methods transmit data from a patient device to a location, for example a remote location, where the patient is monitored. The system may comprise a server system, for example a backend server system, a gateway and the patient worn device. The gateway can be configured to communicate with the patient worn device in response to a list transmitted from the server, for example an approved patient device list transmitted from the server to the gateway. The gateway may exclude communication with patient worn devices that are not on the list. This use of the list can control data throughput from the patient device to the gateway and also from the gateway to the server, such that the communication from the device on the list to the server is maintained and appropriate information can be reliably sent from the patient device to the server.

主权项

1. A system for monitoring a patient, the system comprising:
a server system; a patient device coupled to the patient to measure patient data, the patient device comprising a communications module configured to transmit a device identifier; and a gateway comprising a unique gateway identifier and configured to communicate with the server system and the patient device, the gateway configured to communicate with the patient device in response to the device identifier, wherein the gateway is configured to transmit the unique gateway identifier to the server system with patient data and the unique patient device identifier, and wherein the gateway is further configured to receive a list of approved device identifiers from the server system in response to receipt of a request from the patient device to pair with the gateway.
