  • Patent number: 11596365
    Abstract: A multi-parameter patient monitoring device rack can dock a plurality of patient monitor modules and can communicate with a separate display unit. A signal processing unit can be incorporated into the device rack. A graphics processing unit can be attached to the display unit. The device rack and the graphic display unit can have improved heat dissipation and drip-proof features. The multi-parameter patient monitoring device rack can provide interchangeability and versatility to a multi-parameter patient monitoring system by allowing use of different display units and monitoring of different combinations of parameters. A dual-use patient monitor module can have its own display unit configured for displaying one or more parameters when used as a stand-alone device, and can be docked into the device rack when a handle on the module is folded down.

  • Publication number: 20230058052
    Abstract: A wearable device configured to monitor physiological parameters of a wearer can include: a physiological parameter measurement sensor configured to monitor a plurality of physiological parameters; a hardware processor; a display in communication with the processor; and a band configured to secure the physiological parameter measurement sensor on a wrist of the wearer. In some implementations, the hardware processor is configured to: obtain a first plurality of signals from the physiological parameter measurement sensor when the band is secured on the wrist at a first tightness; determine a signal quality responsive to the first plurality of signals; and output an indication on the display to adjust tightness of the band with respect to the wrist from the first tightness to a second tightness based on the determined signal quality.

  • Publication number: 20220175249
    Abstract: A wireless patient monitoring device can be fully functional stand-alone patient monitoring device capable of various physiological measurements. The patient monitoring device is small and light enough to be comfortably worn on the patient, such as on the patient's wrist or around the neck. The patient monitoring device can have a monitor instrument removably engaging a disposable base. The base can have outlets for connecting to an acoustic respiration sensor and an oximeter sensor. The patient monitoring device can have pogo pin connectors connecting the monitor instrument and the disposable base so that the monitor instrument can receive sensor data from the sensors connected to the disposable base.

  • Publication number: 20220125380
    Abstract: Various sensor tapes can improve securing of a non-invasive optical sensor to a surface of a medium for taking noninvasive measurement of characteristics of the medium. The sensor tape can taper from a wide end to a narrow end. The sensor tape can transition from a wide portion to a narrow portion in a step-like change or slope. The sensor tape can have staggered portions. The various tapes can be used with an L-shaped sensor. The various tapes can increase contact surface between the surface of the medium and an adhesive side of the tape so as to reduce motion-induced noise.

  • Publication number: 20220053892
    Abstract: A strap for a wearable device configured to secure to a portion of a body of a user can include a base and a plurality of strap members secured to portions of the base. In some implementations, the base is made of a first material and each of the plurality of strap members are made of a second material, the first material being more pliable than the second material. In some implementations, the base includes a plurality of openings spaced from one another along a length of the base and a plurality of stems. In some implementations, each of the plurality of strap members is a channel secured to one of the stems. In some implementations, the first material includes at least one of rubber and silicone and the second material is a metallic material.

  • Publication number: 20210330188
    Abstract: A patient monitoring device can be configured to provide fast and reliable physiological measurements in a variety of care settings including at a patient's home. The device can include a compact, standalone monitor with telehealth capabilities as well as an intuitive interface for use at home. The device can include a blood pressure, capnography, or pulse oximetry module. A device can include a sleek and continuous outer surface that is easy to clean and generally free of crevices, holes, or surfaces that collect external contaminants. For example, portions of the housing can connect together using a limited number of screws, thereby limiting a number of holes. The device can include a vent cover that can be rotated to reconfigure the function of the vent cover. For example, the vent cover can function as a stabilization feature and/or a cover for a ventilation hole, while permitting exhaust through the ventilation hole.
