  • Patent number: 11857310
    Abstract: A physiological parameter processing apparatus includes an input interface section that acquires respiration data produced based on a respiratory gas that is obtained from at least one of a mouth and nose of a subject, and an analyzing section that analyzes in real time the respiration data acquired through the input interface section, and that produces analysis result data which can be displayed in real time.

  • Publication number: 20220167871
    Abstract: An information generating apparatus is provided with an acquirer and a controller. The acquirer is configured to acquire respiratory waveform data about respiratory pressure of a subject. The controller is configured to compare the respiratory waveform data acquired by the acquirer with preset respiratory reference waveform data, so as to generate respiratory depth information representing respiratory depth of the respiratory waveform data with respect to the respiratory reference waveform data.

  • Patent number: 11253160
    Abstract: A measuring apparatus includes: a measuring section which performs an invasive blood pressure measurement, and which detects that a predetermined abnormal condition occurs in a blood pressure during the measurement; a detector which detects whether or not a zero point calibration is being executed on a transducer to be used in the measurement; and a notification controller which, in a case where the blood pressure measured by the measuring section is in the predetermined abnormal condition, controls whether an alarm is output or not, based on a detection state of the detector. The notification controller can select a first mode in which an alarm sound is output, or a second mode in which the alarm sound is not output, based on an elapsed time period from a predetermined timing relating to the zero point calibration, and an output from the measuring section.

  • Publication number: 20220037015
    Abstract: A memory (13) stores gesture information corresponding to a gesture (G) of a medical worker that is allocated to a function of a medical device (2). A sensor (11) is configured to detect a gesture (G). A transmitter (12) is configured to wirelessly transmit a control signal (CS) for remotely controlling the function. A processor (14) is configured to cause the transmitter (12) to transmit the control signal (CS) in a case where the gesture (G) corresponding to the gesture information is detected by the sensor (11).

  • Publication number: 20200178844
    Abstract: A condition change determination method and condition change determination apparatus that, when a medical person uses a method for determining a condition change of a patient, such as NEWS, can accurately determine the condition of the patient, and a program and computer readable medium that are to be used in the apparatus or the method are provided. A non-transitory computer readable medium including a program causes a computer to realize the functions of: acquiring at least one of apnea and hypopnea rates of a patient; acquiring vital signs information of the patient other than the apnea and hypopnea rates; and determining a condition change of the patient by a determination method for determining a condition change of a patient based on at least one of the apnea and hypopnea rates, and the vital signs information other than the apnea and hypopnea rates.

  • Publication number: 20180344207
    Abstract: A respiratory pressure sensor includes an input that receives respiratory as from at least one of a nasal cavity or an oral cavity of a subject, a pressure sensor that detects respiratory pressure of the respiratory gas received from the input, a signal processor that performs signal processing on the respiratory pressure detected by the pressure sensor and generates respiration data, and an output that outputs the respiration data to an external device.
