System and method for calibrating a remote blood pressure system

A method of generating a complex wave signature associated with a position of a monitor device on a patient's body comprises:

• receiving, at a gateway device in communication with a monitor device, patient information associated with the patient on which the monitor device is positioned;
• receiving, at the gateway device, position information indicating a current position of the monitor device on the patient's body;
• receiving, at the gateway device from the monitor device, ECG data associated with a heartbeat of the patient;
• determining, by the gateway device, whether the ECG data meets at least one designated criteria;
• generating, by the gateway device, the complex wave signature based on median values of the ECG data;
• and
• storing, by the gateway device, the complex wave signature in at least one memory operably connected to the gateway device.

A method of automatically determining a position of a monitor device on a patient's body comprises:

• receiving, by a gateway device in communication with the monitor device, a first complex wave signature associated with a first position and a second complex wave signature associated with a second position;
• receiving, by the gateway device from the monitor device, ECG data associated with a heartbeat of the patient;
• determining, by the gateway device, whether the ECG data meets at least one designated criteria;
• generating, by the gateway device, a current complex wave signature based on median values of the ECG data;
• comparing, by the gateway device, the current complex wave signature to the first complex wave signature and the second complex wave signature;
• and
• selecting, by the gateway device, one of the first position and the second position based on a relationship of one of the first complex wave signature and the second complex wave signature to the current complex wave signature.
