SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURE PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA ACQUISTION AND STORAGE
First Claim
1. A system for secure physiological data acquisition and storage, comprising:
- a programming wand configured to;
obtain an identifier of a physiological monitoring patch that is configured to store the identifier within a cryptographic circuit on that patch;
generate a password for accessing physiological monitoring data collected using that patch based on at least a portion of the identifier, to encrypt the password using a secret key, and to load the encrypted password into the cryptographic circuit;
load the secret key onto a monitor recorder configured to couple with the patch and to obtain the physiological monitoring data using the patch, wherein the monitor recorder retrieves the identifier and the password from the patch, decodes the password, and offloads the physiological monitoring data together with the identifier and the decoded password; and
report the identifier and the password within the cryptographic circuit to at least one server that is configured to store the offloaded physiological monitoring data using the identifier within a secure database and to grant access to the physiological monitoring data upon receipt of the decoded password from a user.

Abstract
A system and method for secure physiological data acquisition and storage. An identifier of a physiological monitoring patch is obtained by a programming wand, the patch configured to store the identifier within a cryptographic circuit. A password for accessing physiological monitoring data collected using that patch is generated based on at least a portion of the identifier, the password is encrypted using a secret key, and the encrypted password is loaded into the cryptographic circuit. The key is loaded onto a monitor recorder that couples with the patch and obtains the physiological monitoring data using the patch, wherein the monitor recorder offloads the data together with the identifier and the decoded password. The identifier and the password are reported to a server that stores the offloaded physiological monitoring data using the identifier within a secure database and grants access to the data upon receipt of the decoded password.
