## Abstract

Controlling a multi-device module includes a physiological sensor configured to sense physiological characteristics of a subject and generate a signal indicative of an instantaneous physiological state. A first device is configured to generate a first signal indicative of an operating state of the first device. A second device is configured to generate a second signal indicative of an operating state of the second device. A remote-control device includes a repository for storing computer executable files aggregated from a plurality of changing private networks. The remote-control device includes an electronic record (ER) client to make a wireless connection with each of the private networks and to query ER database associated with the private networks for electronic records residing within the private networks.

## Independent claims

1. A system comprising: a sensor that senses one or more physiological characteristics of a physiological subject and generates a digital signal indicative of an instantaneous physiological state of the subject; at least one electronic device that generates signals corresponding to an operating state of the at least one electronic device, wherein the at least one electronic device performs one of a therapeutic, diagnostic, and a medication delivery task on the subject based on a pre-programmed set of instructions; a database that stores changing computer-executable files aggregated from a plurality of changing private networks, wherein the computer-executable files contain dynamically updating digitally recorded information indicative of a set of changing subject attributes and respective changing reference values associated with the subject; a server communicatively linked to the sensor and the at least one electronic device, wherein the server receives the digital signal indicative of the instantaneous physiological state of the subject and transmits programmable operational parameters to the at least one electronic device based on the instantaneous physiological state; and an identity validation device that verifies an identity of the at least one electronic device and associates a subject identifier uniquely representing the subject with the at least one electronic device based on information contained within the digital signal such that the operational parameters are dependent on the reference values associated with the subject.

14. A system comprising: a sensor that detects physiological data associated with a subject; a plurality of electronic devices communicatively linked to the sensor, wherein the plurality of electronic devices generate a plurality of signals indicative of an operating state of the plurality of electronic devices, and wherein said operating state comprises one of a performing state and a non-performing state of the plurality of electronic devices; an integrated gateway device communicatively linked to each of the plurality of electronic devices, wherein the integrated gateway device transmits medical operation measurements of the subject in conformity with one or more operational parameters associated with the plurality of electronic devices; at least one of a therapeutic delivery device, a medication delivery device, and a diagnosis device that perform one of a therapeutic, diagnostic, and a medication delivery task on the subject based on the one or more operational parameters associated with the plurality of electronic devices; an identification module that contains digitally stored information for transmission to other electronic devices communicatively linked to the plurality of electronic devices; and a processor communicatively linked with the sensor and the plurality of electronic devices, wherein the processor: receives a signal from the sensor, wherein the signal contains the physiological data; verifies an identity of the plurality of electronic devices based at least on the digitally stored information and associates a subject identifier uniquely representing the subject with at least one of the plurality of electronic devices based on information contained in the physiological data associated with a subject; transmits the subject identifier and a plurality of electronic devices identifier associated along with a service request to a remote-control device positioned apart from the sensor, wherein the remote-control device fulfills the service request based on information contained in a plurality of dynamically updating computer-executable files from a plurality of digital data sources communicatively linked to the remote-control device; and receives the one or more operational parameters from the remote-control device in response to the service request from the processor and based on an instantaneous physiological state as identified from the signal such that said one or more operating parameters decides operating characteristics of the plurality of electronic devices.
