1. A wireless patient monitoring system, comprising:
- a plurality of peripheral electronic devices each having a wireless communication system and a sensor, each of the plurality of peripheral electronic devices adapted to be secured to a monitored patient, the sensors of each of the plurality of electronic devices acquire physiological data from the monitored patient, the physiological data acquired from the monitored patient being transmitted by the wireless communication device of a respective peripheral electronic device;
a processor that registers each of the plurality of peripheral electronic devices to the monitored patient, the processor receives the physiological data from the respective peripheral electronic devices, the processor establishes an association confidence level for each peripheral electronic device based upon at least the received physiological data from each of the peripheral electronic devices, the association confidence level indicative of a likelihood that the physiological data acquired by the peripheral electronic device is from the monitored patient, wherein the processor compares each of the association confidence levels established for each peripheral device to a predetermined threshold and if an association confidence level is below the predetermined threshold, the processor disassociates that peripheral electronic device from the monitored patient; and
at least one automated therapeutic delivery device communicatively connected to the processor;
wherein the processor operates the at least one automated therapeutic delivery device based upon the physiological data from peripheral devices with association confidence levels above the predetermined threshold.

Abstract
Wireless systems and methods include a plurality of peripheral electronic devices each having a wireless communication system. A processor is configured to establish an association confidence level indicative of a likelihood that a peripheral electronic device is associated to a monitored subject for each peripheral electronic device based on association criteria. Indicators are configured to communicate the association the association confidence level.
