  • Ambient noise canceling physiological acoustic monitoring system and method
    Patent number: 9168017
    Abstract: The present invention is an ambient noise canceling physiological acoustic monitoring system and method. The system and method utilizes a plurality of microphones to collect input data including ambient noise signals, bed frame noise signals and patient respiratory and cardiac data signals. The system and method cancels the ambient noise and bed frame noise signals, and calculates a filtered audio output signal with an algorithm that utilizes ECG rhythm patterns and impedance pneumography. The set of input data and the filtered audio output signal are then displayed in real time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 13, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2015
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Russell C. Ward, Parry W. Heide, Bruce E. Dammann
