Abstract: A method includes monitoring data communicated over a bus and determining that the data is communicated between a peripheral device and a client device. The method also includes sending the data in an unaltered form, and an identifier identifying the peripheral device, to a cloud server, wherein the data is operable to be received by a device driver executing on the cloud server. Another method includes receiving data in an unaltered form and an identifier identifying a peripheral device, wherein the unaltered data is a forwarded communication between the peripheral device and a client device. The method also includes enabling a device driver based on the received identifier. The method also includes executing one or more commands via the device driver, based on the received data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operation of a sleep-lab. A central processor provides connectivity between sleep-lab personnel, sleep-lab equipment, monitoring and analysis personnel and the patient. The sleep-lab supports at-home treatment and diagnostics, monitor-only sleep labs, and conventional sleep-labs. Monitoring and analysis, performed by the real-time monitor, scorer and over-reader, interpreter, and follow-up analyst, may be performed at a central location or disbursed throughout the world to take advantage of time-shifting and/or other resources. A central processor provides security and connectivity to facilitate the data exchange between data sources and monitoring and analysis facilities. A sleep-lab communication protocol helps to ensure a loss-less transfer of data over an interruptible network connection. A sleep-lab interface provides data conversion and accounting processes.
