REAL-TIME MONITORING SYSTEMS AND METHODS IN A HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An apparatus for real time monitoring of a patient is provided and includes a memory element for storing data, a processor that executes instructions associated with the data, an interface that receives sensor data from a sensor that takes measurements from the patient and sends the sensor data according to the sensor's measurement latency, a latency calculator that frequently calculates a latency threshold that varies according to at least a health status of the patient, a timer that continuously monitors the sensor's measurement latency, a comparator that frequently compares the sensor's measurement latency with the calculated latency threshold, and a feedback module that automatically changes the sensor's measurement latency to match with the calculated latency threshold.

1. An apparatus for real-time monitoring of a patient, comprising:
a memory element that stores data; a processor that executes instructions associated with the data; an interface that receives sensor data from a sensor, wherein the sensor takes measurements from the patient and sends the sensor data according to the sensor's measurement latency; a latency calculator that frequently calculates a latency threshold that varies according to at least a health status of the patient; a timer that continuously monitors the sensor's measurement latency; a comparator that frequently compares the sensor's measurement latency with the calculated latency threshold; and a feedback module that automatically changes the sensor's measurement latency to match with the calculated latency threshold.
