Patent ID: 8850293

Claim:
A method for performing error correction during a transmission of physiological data, the method comprising: sending two or more data packets from a first electronic computing device to a second electronic computing device, each of the data packets including physiological data, each of the data packets having a first packet size, and each of the data packets including error correction information, the error correction information being included within each of the two or more data packets; determining a transmission error rate for the two or more data packets; and based on the transmission error rate, adjusting a packet size for data transmission to a second packet size; wherein adjusting a packet size for data transmission further comprises decreasing the first packet size when the transmission error rate is greater than a first predetermined threshold; and wherein determining the transmission error rate further comprises disabling error correction at the first electronic computing device when the transmission error rate is not greater than a second predetermined threshold, the second predetermined threshold being smaller than the first predetermined threshold.
