Abstract

Systems and methodologies that regulate in real time biometric indicia of an ambulatory patient via employing a distributed computing arrangement of modular component(s), which are tailored in part based on requirements of data to be measured and/or administered. Accordingly, the system can be scaled for different biometric requirements (e.g., data bits, operating frequencies and the like). Such an arrangement can regulate drug delivery units and/or acquire biometric data from an ambulatory patient.

Claims (27)

1 . A system for an ambulatory patient treatment, comprising:

a modular component(s) as part of a distributed computing arrangement, the modular component including a plurality of cards replaceable based on real time biometric data monitoring requirements of the ambulatory patient; and

a control system that regulates the modular component(s) for at least one of biometric data acquisition and drug delivery to the ambulatory patient.

2 . The system of claim 1 , the modular component further comprising a common data controller that interacts with a modality specific circuitry for collection of biometric data.

3 . The system of claim 2 , the control system is a Master Controller and the common data controller includes a bus interface that coordinates transmittal of biometric data to the Master Controller.

4 . The system of claim 2 , the common data controller includes a clock that supplies the modular component with a programmable data acquisition rate different than another modular component of the distributed computing arrangement.

5 . The system of claim 1 further comprising an insertable communication card that configures communication between the modular component and the control system, to a predetermined protocol.

6 . The system of claim 2 further comprising amplifiers with auto-ranging gain sets to facilitate biometric data acquisition during rest and exercise periods of the ambulatory patient.

7 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of clients in wireless communication with the modular component for a monitor of biometric data.

8 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a belt wearable by the ambulatory patient, the belt hosts the plurality of modular components.

9 . The system of claim 1 further comprising an artificial intelligence component trainable for drug delivery and biometric data acquisition.

10 . A method of biometric data acquisition, comprising:

acquiring a first biometric indicia via a first modality specific module of a modular component that forms a distributed computing network around a patient;

replacing the first modality specific module with a second modality specific module, the second modality specific module measures a second biometric indicia, and

transmitting the first biometric indicia and second biometric indicia for a real time monitoring thereof.

11 . The method of claim 10 further comprising administering drug delivery to a patient via I/O controls of the modular component.

12 . The method of claim 10 further comprising acquiring data by the modular component at a rate different than another modular component associated with the distributed computing network.

13 . The method of claim 10 further comprising auto-ranging an amplifier with adjustable gain sets to accommodate for level of patient's activity.

14 . The method of claim 10 further comprising configuring communication between the modular component and the control system to a predetermined protocol.

15 . The method of claim 10 further comprising employing programmable filters for real time data filtering.

16 . The method of claim 10 further comprising real time biometric data streaming to clients.

17 . The method of claim 10 further comprising adjusting rate of data acquisition based on feed back from users.

18 . The method of claim 10 further comprising controlling modular components via a maser controller operatively connected thereto.

19 . The method of claim 10 further comprising employing artificial intelligence components to facilitate data acquisition and drug delivery.

20 . A system for an ambulatory patient treatment, comprising:

collecting means for acquiring biometric data from an ambulatory patient; and

means for scaling the collecting means.
