1. A wireless system comprising:
- a plurality of peripheral electronic devices each having a wireless communication system and a sensor, each sensor configured to measure physiological data of a monitored patient;
a hub having a wireless communication system, the hub in wireless communication with one or more of the peripheral electronic devices; and
a processor that first receives measured physiological data from the peripheral electronic devices and collects at least one system or sensor attribute value for each electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices, next calculates association attribute values by comparing the collected at least one system or sensor attribute value from each electronic device to the at least one system or sensor attribute values from the rest of the plurality of electronic devices, and then the processor establishes an association status between each of the peripheral electronic devices and the monitored patient based on the association attribute values.

Abstract
Systems and methods of evaluating an association between a wireless sensor and a monitored patient include a plurality of peripheral electronic devices each having a wireless communication system and a sensor. A processor receives measured physiological parameter data from the peripheral electronic devices and establishes an association status between each of the peripheral electronic devices and the monitored patient based upon identified characteristics in the physiological parameter data.

9. A wireless system comprising:
-
a plurality of peripheral electronic devices each having a wireless communication system and a sensor, the sensors configured to each obtain a signal out of a plurality of signals; a hub having a wireless communication system, the hub in wireless communication with one or more of the plurality of peripheral electronic devices; and a processor that first receives at least one input to register each of the plurality of peripheral electronic devices, the processor next receives the plurality of signals from the peripheral electronic devices and collects at least one system or sensor attribute value for each electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices, then calculates association attribute values by comparing the collected at least one system or sensor attribute value from each electronic device to the at least one system or sensor attribute values from the rest of the plurality of electronic devices, and further the processor calculates a confidence value indicative of an association status between a registration of each of the peripheral electronic devices and the at least one association attribute value. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of evaluating an association between each of a plurality of wireless sensors configured to obtain physiological data and a monitored patient, the method comprising:
-
registering the plurality of wireless sensors to the monitored patient with a processor configured to receive the physiological data from the plurality of wireless sensors through a hub having a wireless communication system in communication with one or more of the plurality of wireless sensors; receiving the physiological data at the processor from the plurality of wireless sensors; calculating at least one sensor attribute value as an association attribute value of a plurality of association attribute values by processing the received physiological data to compare the received physiological data from each of the plurality of wireless sensors to the physiological data received from the rest of the plurality of wireless sensors; receiving at least one system attribute value as a further association attribute value of the plurality of association attribute values; weighting each of the plurality of association attribute values; calculating a confidence value from the weighted plurality of association attribute values for each of the plurality of wireless sensors indicative of the association between a wireless sensor of the plurality and the monitored patient. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
