SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REGISTRATION AND ACTIVATION OF TEMPERATURE-SENSING GARMENTS
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a patient, comprising:
- a garment comprising a controller and one or more temperature sensors; and
a receiving station configured to communicate with the garment over a wireless communication network,wherein the garment is operable in;
an inactive mode wherein the controller samples the one or more temperature sensors to generate a first set of temperature measurements, andan active mode, wherein the controller samples the one or more temperature sensors to generate a second set of temperature measurements and wherein the garment communicates the second set of temperature measurements to the receiving station,wherein the controller transitions the garment from the inactive mode to the active mode based at least in part on the first set of temperature measurements.

Abstract
A system for monitoring a patient includes a garment including a controller and one or more temperature sensors, and a receiving station configured to communicate with the garment over a wireless communication network. The garment may be operable in an inactive mode in which the controller samples the temperature sensors to generate a first set of temperature measurements, and an active mode in which the controller samples the temperature sensors to generate a second set of temperature measurements and the garment communicates the second set of temperature measurements to the receiving station, where the controller transitions the garment from the inactive mode to the active mode based at least in part on the first set of temperature measurements and/or other sensor data such as garment motion data and/or garment orientation data.

13. A method for monitoring a patient, the method comprising:
-
pairing a garment to at least one electronic device, wherein the garment comprises one or more temperature sensors; generating a first set of temperature measurements in an inactive mode using the one or more temperature sensors; in response to a determination that the garment is placed on the patient, generating a second set of temperature measurements in an active mode using the one or more temperature sensors, and wirelessly communicating the second set of temperature measurements to the at least one electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A method for automatically determining, without user input, whether a garment is placed on a user, the method comprising:
-
detecting an orientation of the garment using one or more orientation sensors in the garment; receiving a set of garment temperature measurements from one or more temperature sensors in the garment; and determining that the garment is placed on a user based at least in part on the detected orientation of the garment and the received garment temperature measurements. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
