Abstract

A system for storing data collected by a body-worn sensor includes a central processing unit (CPU) that is configured to control operation of a gateway device; and one or more computer readable data storage media storing software instructions that, when executed by the CPU, cause the gateway device to: receive a MAC address of a new sensor and a protocol version associated with the new sensor from a server; attempt to contact the new sensor using the protocol version and the MAC address; when a response is received, send the response to the server for validation; when the response is validated by the server, establish communications with the new sensor; and forward data from the new sensor to a second server.

Claims (15)

1. A system for storing data collected by a body-worn sensor, the system comprising:

a central processing unit (CPU) that is configured to control operation of a gateway device; and

one or more computer readable data storage media storing software instructions that, when executed by the CPU, cause the gateway device to:

receive a MAC address of a new sensor and a protocol version associated with the new sensor from a server, the server being in communication with a manufacturer portal having access to the MAC address of the new sensor and the protocol version associated with the new sensor;

attempt to contact the new sensor using the protocol version and the MAC address;

when a response is received, send the response to the server for validation;

when the response is validated by the server, establish communications with the new sensor; and

forward data from the new sensor to a second server, the second server being different from the server, wherein the second server includes a super application associated with a user of the new sensor, with the super application being programmed to control access to the data by causing the second server to:

receive a request from another application for access to the data, the request including an authentication token;

validate the authentication token against a white list of acceptable tokens; and

permit access to the data by the another application upon validation of the authentication token.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the super application identifies a database in which the data from the new sensor is stored.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the super application identifies a plurality of databases in which data from a plurality of sensors associated with the user is stored.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a notification module programmed to generate a notification to a user when the data meets a certain criteria.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the notification module is programmed to notify a plurality of individuals when the data meets a second criteria.
