Patent number: 11963746Abstract: The invention provides a body-worn monitor featuring a processing system that receives a digital data stream from an ECG system. A cable houses the ECG system at one terminal end, and plugs into the processing system, which is worn on the patient's wrist like a conventional wristwatch. The ECG system features: i) a connecting portion connected to multiple electrodes worn by the patient; ii) a differential amplifier that receives electrical signals from each electrode and process them to generate an analog ECG waveform; iii) an analog-to-digital converter that converts the analog ECG waveform into a digital ECG waveform; and iv) a transceiver that transmits a digital data stream representing the digital ECG waveform (or information calculated from the waveform) through the cable and to the processing system. Different ECG systems, typically featuring three, five, or twelve electrodes, can be interchanged with one another.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: SOTERA WIRELESS, INC.Inventors: Jim Moon, Henk Visser, II, Robert Kenneth Hunt, Devin McCombie, Marshal Singh Dhillon, Matthew J.

Publication number: 20220031246Abstract: The invention provides a body-worn vital sign monitor that measures a patient's vital signs (e.g. blood pressure, SpO2, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature) while simultaneously characterizing their activity state (e.g. resting, walking, convulsing, falling) and posture (upright, supine). The monitor processes this information to minimize corruption of the vital signs and associated alarms/alerts by motion-related artifacts. It also features a graphical user interface (GUI) rendered on a touchpanel display that facilitates a number of features to simplify and improve patient monitoring and safety in both the hospital and home.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: SOTERA WIRELESS, INC.Inventors: Jim MOON, Henk VISSER, II, Robert Kenneth HUNT, Devin McCOMBIE, Marshal Singh DHILLON, Matthew J.
