Abstract
A sensor initialization device includes a panel with respective indicia for each of plural wireless sensor functions. For each sensor function indicia, there is a respective initialization circuit coupled to the sensor function indicia for electronic communication through the panel to a wireless sensor unit upon selection of the sensor function. The sensor functions can include body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory, electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, electromyography, electrooculogram, and polysomnography. The panel also has respective indicia for each of plural body placement locations. A respective initialization circuit coupled to the body placement location indicia is electronically communicated through the panel to the wireless sensor unit upon selection of the body placement location indicia.
