Abstract: An example method is performed by a computing device executing instructions stored in data storage, and includes receiving physiologic monitoring data from a plurality of sensors coupled to a patient, receiving information indicating a measurement of patient motion during the patient care event, determining whether the measurement of patient motion is above a threshold, based on determining whether the measurement of patient motion is above the threshold, generating, for the physiologic monitoring data, a respective quality indicator, analyzing, by the computing device, (i) a combination of the physiologic monitoring data from the plurality of sensors and (ii) the respective quality indicator for the physiologic monitoring data to generate a response dependent upon the combination of the physiologic monitoring data as weighted by the respective quality indicator, and based on analyzing, outputting caregiver feedback by the computing device according to the response.

Abstract: An article of manufacture, such as a weighted blanket, a cushioning element, or the like, includes an elastomeric element that includes elongated elements that follow nonlinear, partially overlapping paths and voids between adjacent portions of the elongated elements. Such an elastomeric element may define a weighted layer of a weighted blanket, a cushioning layer of a cushioning element of the like. The elastomeric element may be secured directly to a substrate, such as a fabric layer. Alternatively, an adhesion layer may secure the elastomeric element to the substrate. An adhesion layer may cover only a portion of the substrate. A cover may be provided over the elastomeric element. Together, the cover and the substrate may contain the elastomeric element.
