Patent number: 11562825Abstract: The present specification discloses systems and methods of patient monitoring in which multiple sensors are used to detect physiological parameters and the data from those sensors are correlated to determine if an alarm should, or should not, be issued, thereby resulting in more precise alarms and fewer false alarms. Electrocardiogram readings can be combined with invasive blood pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, and/or pulse oximetry measurements to provide a more accurate picture of pulse activity and patient respiration. In addition, the monitoring system can also use an accelerometer or heart valve auscultation to further improve accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Spacelabs Healthcare L.L.C.Inventors: Jeffrey Jay Gilham, William Gregory Downs

Publication number: 20200405156Abstract: The present specification describes methods and systems for monitoring changes in physiological data, such as electrocardiogram data, respiration data, and blood pressure data, as a consequence of a change in position or movement of a subject under observation. Embodiments of the present specification provide systems for detecting and processing motion data by utilizing an available physiological monitoring device, with minimal additions of cost and equipment. A connecting wire is used to add a motion sensor to an existing physiological monitoring device. The connecting wire provides a channel for powering the motion sensing device as well as communication of data to and from the motion sensing device. Preferably, the motion sensor is embedded into the wire.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Richard Gagliardo, Jeffrey Jay Gilham, William Gregory Downs

Patent number: 9384652Abstract: The present application discloses methods and systems for transferring primary alarm notification on patient monitoring systems from a bedside monitor to one or more secondary devices which may operate on a less than fully reliable network. The bedside monitor includes an attached physiological parameter measurement device which detects when a specific physiological parameter measures outside a predetermined range. The bedside monitor then directs the secondary device(s) to annunciate its alarm. Primary alarming responsibility reverts from the secondary device(s) back to the bedside monitor whenever communication between the two is lost or when acknowledgement of the alarm condition by the secondary device is not relayed back to the bedside monitor within a predetermined amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: SPACELABS HEALTHCARE, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Jay Gilham, Patrick Scott Jensen

Patent number: 9152765Abstract: The present specification discloses systems and methods for patient monitoring using a multitude of display regions, at least two of which have the capability to simultaneously display real time patient waveforms and vital statistics as well as provide display for local and remote software applications. In one example, a primary display shows real time patient waveforms and vital statistics while a customizable secondary display shows trends, cumulative data, laboratory and radiology reports, protocols, and similar clinical information. Additionally, the secondary display can launch local and remote applications such as entertainment software, Internet and email programs, patient education software, and video conferencing applications. The dual display allows caregivers to simultaneously view real time patient vitals and aggregated data or therapy protocols, thereby increasing hospital personnel efficiency and improving treatment, while not compromising the display of critical alarms or other data.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2014Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Spacelabs Healthcare LLCInventors: Jeffrey Jay Gilham, Patrick Jensen, Michael Brendel, Katherine Stankus

Publication number: 20140142963Abstract: A system for providing patient care includes acquiring, consolidating, distributing, storing and displaying medical data using cell phone platforms and non-proprietary hardware and software modules. The system includes sensing devices, acquisition devices, network appliances, cloud computing and storage, and presentation devices. Sensing devices are connected to acquisition devices via wired or wireless connections. Sensing acquisition devices can be used in a caregiver facility and in an outpatient environment and can connect to the cloud via cell phone (3G/4G) networks. Clinical data is sent in encrypted messages having only the header encoded using a standard scripting language, such as Lua. Presentation devices include computers, tablets, cell phones, and wall-mounted displays and can be located anywhere, enabling greater accessibility of patient data by caregivers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: Spacelabs Healthcare LLCInventors: Tim Hill, Patrick Scott Jensen, James M Owen, Jeffrey Jay Gilham, Roy Hays, James Dundon
