Ambulatory sensing system and associated methods

An ambulatory sensing system, comprising:

• a first passive sensor configured for implantation within a first subject;
• a second passive sensor configured for implantation within a second subject;
• a first transceiver disposed outside of the first subject and configured to:
• generate an electromagnetic signal configured to energize at least a portion of the first passive sensor;
• measure feedback from the first passive sensor in response to the generated electromagnetic signal;
• and
• a second transceiver disposed outside of the second subject and configured to:
• generate an electromagnetic signal configured to energize at least a portion of the second passive sensor;
• measure feedback from the second passive sensor in response to the generated electromagnetic signal;
• wherein while the first transceiver transmits the electromagnetic signal, the second transceiver is prevented from transmitting an electromagnetic pulse.

A base unit for an ambulatory sensing environment, comprising:

• a memory;
• a communications module configured for wireless coupling to one or more ambulatory sensing system;
• and
• a processing module, configured to:
• receive information indicative of a number of ambulatory sensing systems in a measurement environment comprising a plurality of ambulatory sensing systems;
• establish a communication scheme associated with the measurement environment based on the number of ambulatory sensing systems in the measurement environment;
• provide, to each ambulatory sensing system, information indicative of the established communication scheme;
• and
• configure, in a central data module associated with the measurement environment, parameters for communicating with each respective ambulatory sensing system in accordance with the established control scheme.
