1. A wireless system comprising:
- a plurality of peripheral electronic devices each having a wireless communication system and a sensor, the sensors configured to measure a physiological parameter of a monitored patient;
a hub having a wireless communication system, the hub in wireless communication with one or more of the peripheral electronic devices; and
a processor configured to receive measured physiological parameter data from the peripheral electronic devices and configured to identify characteristics of the physiological parameter data associated with the monitored patient, and to establish an association status between each of the peripheral electronic devices and the monitored patient based on the identified characteristics.

Abstract
Systems and methods of evaluating an association between a wireless sensor and a monitored patient include a plurality of peripheral electronic devices each having a wireless communication system and a sensor. A processor receives measured physiological parameter data from the peripheral electronic devices and establishes an association status between each of the peripheral electronic devices and the monitored patient based upon identified characteristics in the physiological parameter data.
