Physiological data acquisition utilizing vibrational identification

A method implemented on one or more processors, the method comprising:

• associating a patient identifier with a particular patient record;
• measuring patient data using a data acquisition device;
• mechanically vibrating the data acquisition device and the patient at a pre-selected vibrational frequency less than 3 kilohertz;
• detecting the pre-selected vibrational frequency of the patient;
• and
• matching up the patient identifier with the patient data based on the pre-selected vibrational frequency.

A device comprising:

• an application configured to select a predetermined vibrational frequency, wherein the predetermined vibrational frequency is less that 3 kilohertz;
• a mechanical vibration source for producing the predetermined vibrational frequency and mechanically vibrate the device and a patient at the predetermined vibrational frequency;
• medical test circuitry configured to measure patient data corresponding to the patient;
• and
• a transceiver configured to transmit an identifier of the predetermined vibrational frequency and the measured patient data, wherein the measured patient data is matched up with the patient based on the predetermined vibrational frequency.

A device comprising:

• an application configured to select a predetermined mechanical vibrational frequency to be used on a patient, wherein the predetermined mechanical vibrational frequency is less than 3 kilohertz;
• a transceiver configured to receive patient data and a patient identifier;
• and
• matching circuitry configured to match the patient data and the patient identifier based on the predetermined mechanical vibrational frequency.
