Data router-mediated publisher/subscriber transmission architecture apparatus and methods

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a device, a first measured result;
• generating, by the device, a first data packet in a first format, the first data packet based, at least in part, on the first measured result, and the first format associated with the device;
• transmitting, by the device, the first data packet in the first format to a data router via a first communications network;
• generating, by the data router, a second data packet in a second format, the second data packet based, at least in part, on a portion of the first data packet, and the second format being independent of the device;
• and
• transmitting, by the data router, the first data packet in the first format and the second data packet in the second format to a subscriber via a second communications network;
• wherein the second data packet in the second format contains actionable information derived from the first data packet in the first format, and wherein the device comprises an analyzer, an automation system, or an IoT device.

A health information system, comprising:

• a first device configured to obtain a measured parameter, and further configured to generate a first data packet in a first format, the first data packet based, at least in part, on the measured parameter, and the first format associated with the first device;
• a subscriber;
• a data router coupled to the first device via a first network and coupled to the subscriber via a second network, the data router comprising:
• a processor;
• a memory, coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the data router to:
• receive the first data packet in the first format via the first network,
• generate a second data packet in a second format, the second data packet based, at least in part, on a portion of the first data packet, and the second format being independent of the first device, and
• transmit the first data packet and the second data packet to the subscriber via the second network;
• wherein the second data packet in the second format contains actionable information derived from the first data packet in the first format.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having instructions stored therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• obtain a first measured result,
• generate a first data packet in a first format, the first data packet based, at least in part, on the first measured result, and the first format associated with the apparatus,
• generate a second data packet in a second format, the second data packet based, at least in part, on a portion of the first data packet, and the second format being independent of the apparatus, and
• ptransmit the first data packet and the second data packet via a communications network;
• wherein the second data packet in the second format contains actionable information derived from the first data packet in the first format.
