Using near-field communication both for out-of-band pairing and physiological data transfer

摘要

A method for obtaining physiological data from a medical sensor device includes detecting a proximity of the medical sensor device by an electronic computing device. After the proximity is detected, a message is received from the medical sensor device. A determination is made as to whether the received message includes configuration information for a wireless communication link. When the received message includes the configuration information for the wireless communication link, the wireless communication link is used to receive physiological data from the medical sensor device and the received physiological data is processed at the electronic computing device. When the received message does not include configuration information for the wireless communication link, a determination is made as to whether the received message includes physiological data. When the received message includes the physiological data, the physiological data is processed at the electronic computing device.

1. A method for obtaining physiological data from a medical sensor device, the method comprising:
detecting a proximity of the medical sensor device by an electronic computing device,wherein the electronic computing device is a mobile electronic computing device;
after the proximity is detected, receiving a message from the medical sensor device; determining whether the received message includes configuration information for a wireless communication link, wherein the configuration information includes data used to initiate a wireless connection; in response to determining that the received message includes the configuration information for the wireless communication link: using the wireless communication link to receive physiological data from the medical sensor device; and
processing the received physiological data by the electronic computing device; and if the received message does not include configuration information for the wireless communication link: determining whether the received message includes physiological data; and in response to determining that the received message includes the physiological data, processing the physiological data at the electronic computing device; and touching the mobile electronic computing device to an ID bracelet on a patient, the touching of the mobile electronic computing device to the ID bracelet starting a software application on the mobile electronic computing device that displays an EMR record for the patient on the mobile electronic computing device.
