  • Patent number: 10216905
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses enabling determination of health state trends for a consistent patient situation. Various noninvasive health monitors can be used to sense a patient's situation and health states, including disease progression, at those states. These noninvasive health monitors may also act passively and in a patient's normal course of life, which enhances many patient's desire to submit to monitoring, as well as increase consistency of use, as in many cases the patient does little or nothing to cause his or her health monitoring and health-trend determination. With health states determined for a consistent patient situation, more accurate and more robust health trends can be determined.

  • Publication number: 20180296163
    Abstract: This document describes ways in which to alter physiological signals to address corrupt, noisy, or otherwise faulty data. By so doing, accuracy and robustness in sensing and assessing a patient's cardiovascular health can be improved. These improved assessments permit better measures of health, such as relevant hemodynamics understood by heart rates, heart rate variability, cardiac arrhythmias, blood pressures, pulse-wave velocities, arterial stiffness, cardiac valve timing, thoracic fluids, ballistocardiogram force, photo-plethysmograms, blood oxygenation, and pressure-volume loops.

  • Patent number: 10080528
    Abstract: This document describes optical central venous pressure measurement. To determine the central venous pressure (CVP) of a person optically, video of a right side of the person's neck is captured. By way of example, a medical professional records a video of the right side of the person's neck using a smartphone. The right side of the person's neck is captured because it is where the person's external and internal jugular veins are located and pulsatile motions that are usable to measure CVP occur in those veins. The video is then processed according to video motion amplification techniques to generate a reconstructed video of the right side of the person's neck. In the reconstructed video, the pulsatile motion of the person's venous system that occurs at the right side of their neck is visually amplified. Using the reconstructed video, measurements are made of a distance between a peak of the visually-amplified pulsatile motion and an anatomical feature of the person.

  • Publication number: 20180256106
    Abstract: This document describes techniques for, and systems that enable, in-ear health monitoring. The techniques described herein enable early detection of health conditions (e.g., contagious disease) through use of an in-ear health-monitoring and audio device. These techniques prompt a user, often through the user's smart phone, to listen to audio content through the device, which also takes the user's temperature. Through repetitive use, the techniques are capable of determining a temperature differential for the user, which aids in early detection of a contagious disease or other malady.

  • Patent number: 10064582
    Abstract: This document describes assessment of human physiological systems. Various noninvasive sensors can be used to detect vitals and other parameters and combined with mathematical models to assess the functional state of physiological systems. Conventional techniques can use invasive sensors to monitor cardiac pressures and volumes, along with pressure transit to quantify cardiovascular health. While known to be effective these invasive techniques often require surgery and are resource intensive limiting their use to cases where the risks and costs are of clear immediate benefit. In contrast, noninvasive health monitors present little if any risk and are easy to use. Further, the techniques described herein can determine trends in a person's cardiovascular health. With these trends, a person can know if the effort they expend to improve heart health actually makes a difference. Further, negative trends can be found that can spur people to improve their health or get medical attention.

  • Publication number: 20160321428
    Abstract: This document describes customizable health monitoring. The techniques described enable a medical professional to monitor a person's health in their normal course of life, such as prior to each meal, during exercising, while at the office, and so forth. These techniques also enable monitoring that is tailored to that particular person to better understand a suspected problem or a known condition. By so doing, a medical professional can monitor a person over various times and situations, which adds detail and robustness to the data collected. The techniques permit remote tracking and data transfer as well, thereby enabling the health professional to gain the desired information quickly and easily without requiring the patient or the health professional to wait for, or waste time on, an in-person visit.

  • Publication number: 20160206244
    Abstract: This document describes the assessment of human physiological systems in a manner that can be applied throughout the population. Various noninvasive sensors (including wearable, passive contact, and noncontact) can be used to detect vitals and other parameters and combined with mathematical models to assess the functional state of physiological systems. For example, the health of the cardiovascular system is ultimately determined by organ blood perfusion and molecular gas exchange. In lieu of measuring these functional metrics directly, invasive sensors can be used to monitor cardiac pressures and volumes, along with pressure transit through the vascular to quantify cardiovascular health. While known to be effective these invasive techniques often require surgery and are resource intensive limiting their use to the few cases where the risks and costs are of clear immediate benefit. In contrast, noninvasive health monitors present little if any risk to the person and are simple and easy for the person to use.

  • Publication number: 20160097756
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mapping an explosive event are discussed. In an example, a system for mapping an explosive event can include a plurality of sensor devices and a data analysis system. Each of the plurality of sensor devices can include an environmental sensor to measure at least one parameter of an explosive event. Each sensor device can also include a time synchronization circuit to synchronize time stamping of the parameter measured by the environmental sensor, and a wireless communication interface. The data analysis system can access measurement data generated by the plurality of sensor devices and analyze the measurement data to produce a visualization mapping the measurements onto a virtual representation of the test environment.
