Wireless body-area network time synchronization using r peak reference broadcasts

Abstract

A WBAN system for real-time telemonitoring health of a subject, involving a wearable biosignal sensors, each sensor of the sensors configured to measure a plurality of biosignals, ultra-low-power radios correspondingly coupled with the sensors; and a processor operable with at least one of the sensors and the radios, each radio of the radios configured to receive the biosignals from each corresponding sensor and to transmit the biosignals to a processor via a WBAN, and the processor configured to: receive the biosignals from the radios, process the biosignals via a set of executable instructions storable in relation to a nontransitory memory device, the set of executable instructions comprising an instruction for synchronizing time of the biosignals by using the broadcasted R peak reference, whereby real-time health data is providable, and transmit the real-time health data to a healthcare provider.
