Abstract
A patient monitoring system includes one or more wireless sensing devices configured to record physiological data from a patient and one or more processors. An activity analysis module is executable on one or more of the processors to select an activity class from a predefined set of activity classes based on an activity input. A power management module is executable on one or more of the processors to reduce power consumption of one or more of the wireless sensing devices by identifying that one or more of the wireless sensing devices is unreliable based on the activity class, and operating the one or more unreliable wireless sensing devices in a low power mode.
Claims20
A patient monitoring system comprising:
- one or more wireless sensing devices configured to record physiological data from a patient;
- one or more processors;
- an activity analysis module executable on one or more of the processors to select an activity class from a predefined set of activity classes based on an activity input;
- a power management module executable on one or more of the processors to:
- identify that one or more of the wireless sensing devices is unreliable based on the activity class;
- and
- operate the one or more unreliable wireless sensing devices in a low power mode.
A method of monitoring a patient, the method comprising:
- recording physiological data from a patient with each of at least two wireless sensing devices, wherein each wireless sensing device measures a different type of physiological data;
- receiving an activity input at a processor;
- selecting with the processor an activity class based on an activity input;
- identifying at least one wireless sensing device that is unreliable based on the activity class;
- operating the one or more unreliable wireless sensing devices in a low power mode.
