DISTRIBUTED SHARED DATA SPACE FOR PERSONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS

摘要

A system for data acquisition, storage, and access includes a plurality of electronic devices (10, 12, 14, 150, 154) having storage. Interfacing software defines setup instructions (70) for establishing on each electronic device a shared data space (30, 130) configured to store one or more data streams (32, 34, 132, 134) of temporally ordered time stamped values, acquisition instructions (76) executable by at least one device (10, 12, 150) of the one or more electronic devices to acquire and store in a first data stream (32, 132) of the shared data space time stamped samples acquired from a first data source (16, 116) at a first temporal acquisition frequency, output instructions (78) executable by at least one device (12, 14, 150, 154) of the one or more electronic devices to output to a first application (50, 160, 162, 164) selected values from the first data stream at a first application first data stream access frequency, and acquisition control instructions (80) executable by at least one device (12, 14, 150, 154) of the one or more electronic devices to instruct the system to start the continuous acquisition of data samples at a specified frequency and moment.
