From what i have found they make medical supplies such as cpaps but to my knowledge there are not many in use with bluetooth accessibility. In crowed areas and nursing homes im finding hundreds of them and i know that not that many residents have things like airbuds and apple watches...

Cpaps have always recoded data concerning their use. Before it was saved to sdcard so you could take to your provider. Now all that data is synced to your phone via Bluetooth and then uploaded to the web and shared with your provider. To better help manage patient therapy. Many medical devices are either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Yeah, it was a bit vague .. but accurate.

BLE 'tags' are affixed to mobile medical machinery, as well as wearables.

These tags can locate medical appliances in a building, as well as collect and push data.

A company I worked for used them on construction sites to keep track of tools.

Internet of things.

Millions of devices all connect to the internet in some way.

There are several types of networks that the devices use to connect together and push data along between themselves in a mostly peer to peer fashion until they reach a unit that is connected to a wifi (The Gateway), or a device that provides or uses the data.

"A Mesh IoT network is a local network topology where devices are connected directly in a non-hierarchical way to route data across the network. The devices in a mesh network communicate according to a predefined protocol that allows each device to participate in the data transmission on the network."

Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth mesh, Z mesh, Z-Wave are each a mesh networking protocol and each has unique characteristics and benefits. Different wave lengths, different transmission distances, different speeds, encrypted, non-encrypted, free and open source, vs licensed, etc. Some will save a lot of energy and be tolerant to disconnections from the network (sleepy protocol), others will burn more power trying like crazy to connect.

Devices are generally Gateways, repeaters or endpoints.

Zigbee is a standards-based wireless technology developed to enable low-cost, low-power wireless machine-to-machine and IoT networks. Silicon Laboratories Inc. acquired Ember, one of the key contributors to the Zigbee specification, in 2012. Zigbee offers mature application layer support for home automation, lighting and metering"

Thread uses 6LoWPAN, which, in turn, uses the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless protocol with mesh communication, as does Zigbee and other systems. However, Thread is IP-addressable, with cloud access and AES encryption. A BSD-licensed open-source implementation of Thread, called "OpenThread", has been released by Google.

"In 2019, the Connected Home over IP project (later renamed "Matter"), led by Zigbee, Google, Amazon and Apple, announced a broad collaboration to create a royalty-free standard and open-source code base to promote interoperability in home connectivity, leveraging Thread, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy."

etc. All are easy enough to look up if you are interested.

In a Nursing home, all of the newer medical devices
I assume would connect on a Blue Tooth Low Energy Mesh network. Various patient monitors, and life support devices would likely all be on the network.

lots and lots of medical equipt is blue tooth now, esp bipap and cpap so the central sleep study person can gather data from the leads etc as well as form the bipap

the only way to confirm if ppl are imitting a mac address is to isolate them from every electronic device cut all blue tooth then scan and see if just 1 shows up then have them walk away etc

Yes!

Try a defibrillator to do a hard reset.

It may take a few applications, but I read on the Internet that it works.

Alot of CPAP machines have cellular access builtin to them and send their data straight to the Dr. I would imagine that if any new machines have Bluetooth it would only be so that the user could get data synced to their phone otherwise what would use would it serve.


I can tell you that my CPAP doesn't have Bluetooth.

For bluetooth devices, there are randomly generated mac adresses, they are not look-up-able. They should always be suffixed with a 11 if they are static, a 10 if they are private and resolvable, 01 if they are private and unresolvable.
