Abstract
The inventive system enables wearables to function as portable, always transmitting medical devices within hospital settings, integrating the data therefrom seamlessly into electronic medical records. The dynamic switching of wearables among virtual Bluetooth hotspots ensures and enhances both the reliability of data transmission and the potential for wearables to contribute meaningfully to the electronic medical record infrastructure within healthcare facilities.
Claims11
A method for data continuity in a mesh network of Bluetooth medical devices and computing device nodes, some of said mesh network of Bluetooth medical devices and computing device nodes contained within or about a medical facility, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting a data gap between roaming reconnection or periodic disconnections of said computing device nodes with a specific patient medical device within the mesh network, said data gap detected by a central information Medical Device Data System (MDDS);
- initiating a process to collect missing data due to the data gap from the specific patient medical device, said process initiated by said central MDDS and instructing one of said computing device nodes to retrieve and store the missing data locally;
- and,
- automatically time synchronizing the stored missing data using the central information MDDS upon reconnection of the medical devices with said one of said computing device nodes;
- and, transmitting the missing data to an electronic medical record (EMR).
