Abstract

Claims (38)

1. A computer-implemented method for real-time health monitoring of a person, comprising:

under control of one or more hardware computer processors associated with one or more sensors attached to the person:

accessing sensor data originating from the one or more sensors indicative of a health status of the person;

communicating the sensor data according to a latency over a network with one or more wireless communication protocols to a server, the latency influencing a time delay between consecutive sensor data transmissions communicated to the server;

determining a latency threshold based on one or more factors;

comparing the latency with the latency threshold; and

modifying the latency to change the time delay between consecutive transmissions of the sensor data communicated to the server to improve real-time monitoring of the sensor data.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the latency comprises a time between generating the sensor data at the one or more sensors and transmitting the sensor data.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the latency comprises a time between consecutive sensor measurements generating the sensor data.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the server is configured to determine the health status of the person from the sensor data.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the server has access to a database comprising computerized patient records associated with a hospital, wherein the server is configured to determine the health status of the person from the sensor data and the computerized patient records.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a buffer latency to add to or subtract from the latency threshold based on at least network settings.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more factors includes a location of the person or a health condition of the person.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more factors includes a network latency associated with communicating the sensor data.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more factors is based on the sensor data originating from the one or more sensors.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the latency comprises modifying a measurement latency of a first sensor of the one or more sensors based on at least another latency threshold associated with a second sensor or another measurement latency associated with the second sensor.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising modifying the latency in response to a request from the server.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors includes one or more of a global positioning system (GPS), a blood pressure sensor, a pulse oximeter sensor, a galvanometer, a blood glucose sensor, and a temperature sensor.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data includes one or more of location information, pulse information, blood pressure information, blood chemical concentration information, temperature information, respiration information, and fluid information.

14. A monitoring apparatus configured to attach to a person and monitor a health of the person, the monitoring apparatus comprising:

one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data; and

a computer system integrated with the one or more sensors and comprising one or more hardware processors configured to execute program instructions to cause the computer system to:

access the sensor data originating from the one or more sensors indicative of a health status of the person;

communicate the sensor data according to a latency over a network with one or more wireless communication protocols to a server, the latency influencing a time delay between consecutive sensor data transmissions communicated to the server;

determine a latency threshold based on one or more factors;

compare the latency with the latency threshold; and

modify the latency to change the time delay between consecutive transmissions of the sensor data communicated to the server to improve real-time monitoring of the sensor data.

15. The monitoring apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the latency comprises a time between generating the sensor data at the one or more sensors and transmitting the sensor data.

16. The monitoring apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the latency comprises a time between consecutive sensor measurements generating the sensor data.

18. Non-transitory computer-readable media including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

accessing sensor data originating from one or more sensors indicative of a health status of a person;

communicating the sensor data according to a latency over a network with one or more wireless communication protocols to a server, the latency influencing a time delay between consecutive sensor data transmissions communicated to the server;
