GATEWAY DEVICE FACILITATING COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF DATA FROM A BODY AREA NETWORK TO A STUDY COORDINATING SYSTEM

원문 (중국어)

A gateway device comprises a processing device, network interface, and sensor device interconnect. The processing device is configured to pair sensor devices associated with a subject with the gateway device utilizing the sensor device interconnect, wherein pairing the sensor devices comprises identifying sensing capabilities of the sensor devices. The processing device is also configured to provide, to a study coordinating system over a first network connection established utilizing the network interface, a gateway identifier and information characterizing the identified sensing capabilities of the sensor devices paired with the gateway device. The processing device is further configured to receive, from the study coordinating system, parameters for a study identifying data to be collected from sensor devices paired with the gateway device, to collect the identified data from the sensor devices over a second network connection established utilizing the network interface, and to provide the collected data to the study coordinating system.
