SEMANTIC MEDICAL DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method performed by a computing system having a processor and memory for organizing data collection and processing from one or more sensors, comprising:
- organizing an initial data collection to collect data from the one or more sensors;
processing the data to obtain an initial diagnosis wherein the initial diagnosis can be a syntax diagnosis or a semantic diagnosis;
identifying an organization for an additional data collection to collect additional data;
analyzing the additional data to obtain a refined diagnosis; and
repeating the identifying and analyzing until a stopping criterion is satisfied.

Abstract
A semantic medical technology is disclosed. In various embodiments, the technology organizes an initial data collection to collect data from the one or more sensors; processes the data to obtain an initial diagnosis wherein the initial diagnosis can be a syntax diagnosis or a semantic diagnosis; identifies an organization for an additional data collection to collect additional data; analyzes the additional data to obtain a refined diagnosis; and repeats the identifying and analyzing until a stopping criterion is satisfied.

8. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor and memory; means for organizing an initial data collection to collect initial data; means for identifying a computing device at which the initial data is to be processed and a function for processing the initial data; means for optionally communicating the initial data to another computing device; means for processing the initial data to obtain an initial syntax diagnosis, semantic diagnosis, or both; means for identifying an organization for an additional data collection to collect additional data; and means for performing local data analysis and optionally coordinating with remote data analysis to obtain a refined diagnosis, wherein the refined diagnosis is a syntax diagnosis, semantic diagnosis, or both. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for performing a method of determining how to process data collected from sensors, the instructions comprising:
-
receiving at a first computing device data from a sensor; determining automatically from the data whether analysis of the data is urgent; if the analysis is urgent, determining whether latency can be tolerated; if latency can be tolerated, forwarding the data to a second computing device; if latency cannot be tolerated, analyzing the data; and if the analysis is not urgent, forwarding the data to a third computing device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system for determining how to collect and process data collected from sensors, comprising:
-
one or more sensors configured to collect data, at least some of the one or more sensors having a transceiver; an analyzer placed on one or more sensors and configured to determine whether to analyze the data or to forward the data for analysis, wherein the analyzer is configured to determine whether or not to forward the data based on a computation of urgency, the urgency computed based on the data; a computing device having a processor, memory, transceiver, optionally one or more sensors, and an analyzer and configured to determine whether to analyze data the computing device receives or to forward the received data for analysis, wherein the analyzer determines whether or not to forward the data based on a computation of urgency, expect benefits, cost, or other function.
