Methods of data acquisition quality and data fusion for personal portable wireless vital signs scanner
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- concurrently scanning for a plurality of vital signs with a plurality of sensors of a portable vital signs scanner to generate vital signs scan data;
detecting movement with an accelerometer of the portable vital signs scanner during the scanning for the plurality of vital signs;
generating first scan data from the vital signs scan data, the first scan data comprising a first category of health status information;
based upon the first scan data, selecting a first scan state from a set of stored scan states;
tracking a number of time windows for the first scan state, the time windows being for measuring a quality of the vital signs scan data;
comparing the first scan data to a stored predetermined range for the first category of health information to generate a scan comparison; and
in response to the scan comparison and the detected movement, determining a measure of quality of the vital signs scan data.
