Permission-based transferring of wireless physiological monitoring

Abstract

A computing system can facilitate continuously monitoring a patient having a wireless wearable device. The computing system can receive, via an in-room display device, a request to transfer wireless monitoring of the patient from the in-room display device to a mobile monitoring hub. The request can comprise identification data associated with a user requesting to transfer the wireless monitoring. The computing system can determine whether the user has permission to transfer the wireless monitoring based on at least the identification data. Responsive to determining that user has permission to transfer the wireless monitoring, the computing system can access wireless configuration data associated with the wireless wearable and received from the in-room display device. The computing system can wirelessly transmit said wireless configuration data to the mobile monitoring hub to cause the mobile monitoring hub to establish a wireless communication with the wearable device.
