Generative Model-Driven Resource-Efficient Monitoring in Body Sensor Networks
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring an electrocardiogram (ECG) of a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving a sensed ECG signal from one or more sensors configured to collect the sensed ECG signal from the patient;
comparing the sensed ECG signal to a model ECG signal; and
if a deviation of the sensed ECG signal from the model ECG signal exceeds a threshold, transmitting deviation data describing the deviation to a base station.

Abstract
Body sensor networks (BSNs) and methods for monitoring an electrocardiogram using such BSNs include a base station that generates an ECG model and an output ECG signal for displaying on a display device, and a sensor platform in electrical communication with the base station. The sensor platform may be configured to receive a sensed ECG signal from one or more sensors, receive an instance of the ECG model, and produce a model ECG signal from the instance. The sensor platform compares the sensed ECG signal to the model ECG signal and, if a deviation of the sensed ECG signal from the model ECG signal exceeds a threshold, transmits deviation data describing the deviation to the base station module. The sensor platform module does not transmit any data to the base station if there is no such deviation.
