20140340219 | PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING AND ALERTING - Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for monitoring physiological parameters by using one or more sensors at a person. First and second physiological parameters of the person are monitored. A determination may be made, at the one or more sensors, that at least one of the first and second physiological parameters has crossed a threshold. An alert event may be generated at the one or more sensors, based on the crossed thresholds. The alert event may then be transmitted to a computing device that is separate from the one or more sensors. | 11-20-2014 |
20140343448 | TWO-ELECTRODE, IMPEDANCE-BASED RESPIRATION DETERMINATION - Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for determining respiration through impedance measurements using only two electrodes. A drive signal may be applied to a person, using only two electrodes. Using the same electrodes, the fluctuations in the voltage of the drive signal are determined. The voltage fluctuations in the drive signal are the result of impedance variations in the person's thoracic cavity due to respiration. Therefore, the voltage fluctuations may be used to determine a respiration rate of the person. In doing so, the voltage fluctuations may be digitized using a sampling rate that is much less than the frequency of the applied drive signal. | 11-20-2014 |
20150088459 | MONITORING AND PRESENTING UNSYNCHRONIZED PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA STREAMS - Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for outputting unsynchronized physiological data. The methods may include receiving a plurality of data streams, each data stream representing a physiological parameter for a person. The methods may also include selecting an epoch. Once the epoch is selected, the methods may also include determining, for each of the plurality of data streams, an epochal or summary value to represent each of the physiological parameters for the person in the epoch. The methods may additionally include outputting the epochal values with an indication of the selected epoch. | 03-26-2015 |
20150094545 | AUTOMATED AT-REST STATUS SENSING - Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for associating remote physiological monitoring with an at-rest condition of a patient. The methods may include receiving activity data and physiological data of a patient. The methods may also include determining that an at-rest condition is satisfied by at least one of the received activity data and physiological data. Once it is determined that the at-rest condition is satisfied, the methods may also include associating an at-rest indicator with one or more physiological measurements of the patient. | 04-02-2015 |
20150094558 | MODULAR PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSING PATCH - A modular holder or patch is described that may be used with or as part of a wireless physiological sensing device. The wireless physiological sensing device may include a holder or patch, first and second electrodes, and an electronics package that may be removably coupled with the holder or patch and which may be in electrical contact with the first and second electrodes. The electronics package may include a housing, a wireless transceiver and electronic circuitry configured to process signals received via the first and second electrodes and the wireless transceiver. | 04-02-2015 |

20150094618 | AUTOMATED PRESSURE ULCER PREVENTION - Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for monitoring patient position in order to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. The methods may include initiating a first turn timer to calculate a first amount of time spent by a patient in a first position. The methods may further include initiating a first perfusion timer to calculate a second amount of time spent by the patient out of the first position. The methods may then include determining whether to reset the first turn timer based, at least in part, on whether the second amount of time meets or exceeds a predetermined perfusion time threshold. Once the patient has met or exceeded the predetermined perfusion time threshold, an alert may be issued. | 04-02-2015 |
20150099943 | WEARABLE PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSING DEVICE WITH OPTICAL PATHWAYS - A wearable physiological sensing device with optical pathways is described. The wearable physiological sensing device may include at least one light source; a first light pipe coupled with the at least one light source, the first light pipe at least partially circumscribing an extremity of a patient, and including at least one aperture for radiating light from the light source into the extremity. The wearable physiological sensing device may also include a second light pipe including at least one aperture for receiving the light radiated through the extremity, the second light pipe at least partially circumscribing the extremity of the patient, and an optical receiver coupled with the second light pipe configured to receive the light and output one or more signals representative of the received light. | 04-09-2015 |
