Abstract

Claims (18)

1 . A monitoring hub configured to monitor a health status of a subject having a wireless physiological sensor, the monitoring hub comprising:

one or more hardware computer processors configured to execute a plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to:

responsive to a request to establish wireless monitoring of a subject's physiology at the monitoring hub:

access wireless configuration data governing wireless communication with a wireless physiological sensor on a subject, said wireless configuration data comprising at least one or more device addresses associated with the wireless physiological sensor, said wireless configuration data received at the monitoring hub from a remote server;

based on at least the wireless configuration data, establish wireless communication between the monitoring hub and the wireless physiological sensor to cause the monitoring hub to wirelessly receive real-time physiological data from the wireless physiological sensor using one or more wireless communication protocols;

receive historical physiological data from the remote server, the historical physiological data comprising physiological data collected by the wireless physiological sensor before establishing the wireless communication between the monitoring hub and the wireless physiological sensor, the historical physiological data comprising physiological data communicated from the wireless physiological sensor to another monitoring hub an electronic device before establishing the wireless communication between the monitoring hub and the wireless physiological sensor; and

generate user interface data for rendering a user interface including the real-time physiological data in combination with the historical physiological data to reduce a gap in monitoring between the historical physiological data and the real-time physiological data.

2 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to establish said wireless communication between the monitoring hub and the wireless physiological sensor by establishing a Bluetooth connection between the monitoring hub and the wireless physiological sensor.

3 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to establish said wireless communication between the monitoring hub and the wireless physiological sensor by establishing said wireless communication without implementing a Bluetooth pairing process.

4 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to establish said wireless communication between the monitoring hub and the wireless physiological sensor in response to a user input, the user input comprising a non-contact user input.

5 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to:

receive identification data via the monitoring hub using one or more of near field communication (NFC) or radio frequency identification (RFID), the identification data associated with a user requesting to establish wireless monitoring with the monitoring hub; and

determine, based on at least the identification data, that the user has permission to establish the wireless monitoring.

6 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to establish said wireless communication between the monitoring hub and the wireless physiological sensor based on at least a proximity of the wireless physiological sensor to the monitoring hub.

7 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to access said wireless configuration data by wirelessly receiving said wireless configuration data from the remote server.

8 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to access said wireless configuration data based on at least retrieving said wireless configuration data from memory.

9 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to render the user interface via a display of the monitoring hub.

10 . The monitoring hub of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware computer processors is further configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the monitoring hub to receive historical user interface data from the remote server, the historical user interface data corresponding to the historical physiological data, the historical user interface data previously generated by the electronic device.
