Abstract:
1. A wireless electrocardiogram data acquisition system, comprising: a set of wireless electrodes for attachment to a patient's body, each of said wireless electrodes coupled to a transceiver assembly for transmitting and receiving wireless communications; a base unit comprising a wireless transceiver for transmitting and receiving wireless communications with said transceiver assemblies, said wireless communications including a set of commands for said transceiver assemblies; said base unit further comprising a memory and computing platform executing a set of instructions wherein said base unit may issue said commands to individual ones of said transceiver assemblies in response to the execution of said instructions; each of said transceiver assemblies further comprising a memory and a computing platform for responding to said commands in accordance with instructions stored in said memory in said transceiver assembly, wherein said commands from said base unit and responses to said commands from said transceiver assemblies allow said base unit to remotely and individually manage and configure each of said transceiver assemblies in real time either prior to or during a period of time in which said transceiver assemblies are acquiring physiologic electrocardiogram signals from said patient and transmitting data corresponding to said physiologic electrocardiogram signals to said base unit.
