  • Publication number: 20240049310
    Abstract: A computing system can facilitate continuously monitoring a patient having a wireless wearable device. The computing system can receive, via an in-room display device, a request to transfer wireless monitoring of the patient from the in-room display device to a mobile monitoring hub. The request can comprise identification data associated with a user requesting to transfer the wireless monitoring. The computing system can determine whether the user has permission to transfer the wireless monitoring based on at least the identification data. Responsive to determining that user has permission to transfer the wireless monitoring, the computing system can access wireless configuration data associated with the wireless wearable and received from the in-room display device. The computing system can wirelessly transmit said wireless configuration data to the mobile monitoring hub to cause the mobile monitoring hub to establish a wireless communication with the wearable device.

  • Publication number: 20240047061
    Abstract: A monitoring hub can monitor a health status of a subject having a wireless wearable device. The monitoring hub can access wireless configuration data received from a remote server. The monitoring can establish wireless communication with the wearable device, based on the wireless configuration data, to wirelessly receive real-time physiological data from the wearable device. The monitoring hub can receive historical physiological data from the remote server. The historical physiological data comprising physiological data collected by the wearable device and/or communicated from the wearable device to another monitoring hub before establishing the wireless communication between the monitoring hub and the wearable device. The monitoring hub can generate user interface data for rendering a user interface including the real-time physiological data in combination with the historical physiological data to reduce a gap in monitoring between the historical physiological data and the real-time physiological data.

  • Publication number: 20230420147
    Abstract: Cyber-security techniques are described for monitoring a cloud environment and identifying potential problems, including malicious threats, to the monitored cloud environment using operational telemetry. Techniques are described for monitoring and collecting data related to reverse or recursive DNS (rDNS) traffic associated with a monitored cloud environment. The recursive DNS traffic includes recursive DNS (rDNS) requests originating from the cloud environment and responses to those requests received from DNS resolvers. This collected data is then analyzed to identify potential threats to the monitored cloud environment. The collected data may be analyzed to identify potential sources of threats and to identify one or more portions of the cloud environment that are the targets of the threats. The analysis may trigger alerts to be generated, actions to be performed (e.g., protective measures), reports to be generated, patterns to be recognized, etc.
