PHYSIOLOGICAL AND NEUROBEHAVIORAL STATUS MONITORING
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a physiological status of an individual, the system comprising:
- a physiological sensor that outputs one or more physiological measurements indicative of a subject'"'"'s physical motion when worn by the subject;
a wireless data transmitter that can be configured in a low power operation mode, a searching for a connection to a wireless data receiver mode, and a transmitting data with a wireless data receiver mode;
a memory store that saves one or more physiological measurements;
a controller connected to the physiological sensor, the memory store, and the wireless data transmitter, and configured to;
transition the wireless data transmitter from the low power operation mode to the searching for a connection mode at a connection polling interval;
transition the wireless data transmitter from the searching for a connection mode to the transmitting data mode if a connection is made or transition to the low power mode if a connection is not made;
save physiological measurements to the memory store when the wireless data transmitter is not in the transmitting data mode;
determine a connection polling interval based on an interval objective function.
