SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING ACQUISITION OF SENSOR INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- one or more condition sensors;
one or more physiological sensors; and
computing device operably connected to the one or more condition sensors and the one or more physiological sensors, the computing device including a processor programmed toquery at least one of the one or more condition sensors to initiate measurement of one or more conditions of an individual relative to the one or more physiological sensors;
receive a set of condition sensor values from the at least one of the one or more condition sensors, the set of condition sensor values representative of the one or more conditions of the individual relative to the one or more physiological sensors;
assign a predictive value to the set of condition sensor values;
query at least one of the one or more physiological sensors to measure one or more physiological parameters of the individual if the assigned predictive value of the set of condition sensor values meets or exceeds a minimum predictive value threshold; and
re-query at least one of the one or more condition sensors if the assigned predictive value of the set of condition sensor values fails to meet or exceed the minimum predictive value threshold.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for controlling acquisition of sensor information, including: one or more condition sensors, one or more physiological sensors, and a computing device including a processor programmed to query the condition sensors to initiate measurement of one or more conditions of an individual relative to the one or more physiological sensors; receive a set of condition sensor values from the condition sensors; assign a predictive value to the set of condition sensors values; query at least one of the one or more physiological sensors to measure one or more physiological parameters of the individual if the assigned predictive value of the set of condition sensor values meets or exceeds a minimum predictive value threshold; and re-query at least one of the one or more condition sensors if the assigned predictive value of the set of condition sensors fails to meet or exceed the minimum predictive value threshold.

57. A method for controlling acquisition of information from one or more sensors comprising:
-
receiving a set of condition sensor values for an individual from at least one of one or more condition sensors in response to one or more queries, the set of condition sensor values representative of one or more conditions of the individual relative to one or more physiological sensors; assigning a predictive value to the set of condition sensor values; querying at least one of the one or more physiological sensors to measure one or more physiological parameters of the individual if the assigned predictive value of the set of condition sensor values meets or exceeds a minimum predictive value threshold; and re-querying at least one of the one or more condition sensors if the assigned predictive value of the set of condition sensor values fails to meet or exceed the minimum predictive value threshold. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59, 63, 64, 69, 71, 75, 77, 78, 82, 84, 85, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96)
