Abstract
A method for making a patient monitor includes providing an electronic device operatively connected to the monitor. The device is configured to measure predetermined signals from a user and to generate therefrom a substantially unique signature specific to the user. The method further includes storing the signature in the electronic device. The electronic device is adapted to compare newly acquired signatures to the substantially unique signature, and to recognize at least one difference from the substantially unique signature. Recognition of a difference in the signatures signifies a new user, whereupon the electronic device acquires new predetermined signals and generates therefrom a new substantially unique signature specific to the new user.
